I'd like to request support for region highlights in PDF annotations.

They're insanely helpful.

Here's an example.

I don't have those options.

This is running from the latest unstable build too via docker container so I'm running the latest and greatest okular and they aren't available in either version.

OK.. I DO have polygon. Just not rectangle.

Rectangle is important:

1. they're easy resize.

2. I can resize just the left, right, top , or bottom, or I can pick the corner to resize.  

3. Drawing a rectangle around a figure is a lot easier than drawing a polygon to keep the sides even.

Then can you please open a new wishlist item saying you want rectangles? Because this bug title said regions and region highlights are supported. I understand rectangles are easier to control than regions, so that's a valid feature request.
