Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2021-06-18 19:01:54 UTC 
SUMMARY
The "Quick annotations" toolbar button does nothing when clicked. I can only click the dropdown next to it to then access the annotations bar

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Okular
2. Click "Quick annotations"

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens

EXPECTED RESULT
I guess the last (or some default not used before) tool is selected? Or the annotation bar should show or something.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: git master as of 2021-06-17
Qt Version: 5.15.3

If you open the dropdown and click on a tool, does the main button change to show that tool?
Comment 2 Laura David Hurka 2021-06-19 12:56:51 UTC 
Do you have “Quick annotation” tools defined? Check it in Settings -> Configure Okular... -> Annotations. Because I don’t know right now which set of tools is accessible from the button in the current version.

AFAIK the intention is to show the last used tool, or the first tool.

At least one distribution decided to delete the relevant configuration file.

There's just "show more annotation tools" and "configure annotations". When I select a tool from the annotation toolbar, nothing changes, the "quick annotations" button never changes and never does anything when clicked.

Looks like I do not. At least in "configure annotations" the list is empty.
