Description phil4000n 2021-06-30 12:23:58 UTC

SUMMARY
no way to remove text highlighting other than undo


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a pdf in Okular
2. Choose the text highlighting
3. Select some text to highlight
4. There is no way to unselect the highlight, but undo (CTRL+Z)
This is cumbersome if you did quite some highlighting.
But if the file has been saved & closed, when you re-open there is no way to remove the formating


OBSERVED RESULT


EXPECTED RESULT
Be able to select some text(or drawing) and be able to remove it


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro 21 XFCE


Thanks

If you right click on the annotation you should see a popup to remove it.
You can also browse the annotation from the annotation tab in the sidebar.

Do neither of them work for you?

Indeed.
Sorry can close or delete
