Description Rajeesh K V 2018-06-29 16:50:12 UTC

Issue:
Annotation tool activated with double click cannot be used when the page is scrolled, if a popup note is added to the annotation.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a PDF and enable the 'Review' tool bar.
2. Double-click on 'Highlighter' and highlight a text.
3. Double-click on the highlighted text to add a popup note.
4. Observe that 'Highlighter' is still activated.
5. Scroll down to the next page.
6. Try to highlight some text on that page.

Results:
Not able to highlight the text.

Additional info:
This issue probably started with Okular 1.3 (KDE Applications 17.12) and is still reproducible with 1.4.2 (KDE Applications 18.04).

It would be great to fix this regression.
Please let me know if you need additional information.

I can confirm this with the current git master on Debian testing.

Additionally: 
* The "highlighter" icon stays activated, but I cannot highlight.
* As mentioned in 6., highlighting on a new page does not work.  However, when I scroll back to the page I started at, I can highlight there.

Still present in 19.04/1.73.

Issue still present in 20.08, even with the rewritten Annotation toolbar.

Haven't seen this issue in last few releases for sure (currently on 21.12), could be considered closed.
