Version: (using KDE 4.2.85) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages When clicking on the selection tools button with the little down facing arrow nothing happens. I assume there's supposed to be a drop down menu where I can change between the text selection and the rectangular selection mode.
Ahh never mind. After a bit of searching I found out you have to hold the button down for a while and the menu comes up eventually. I think it would be nice if either the rectangle or text selection tool was already selected, then the menu would come up immediately, but I guess that's a qt issue rather than okular. This can be changed to invalid.
The dropdown is not immediate, but delayed. This way, you can select a text tool, and selecting it more times without the need to open the dropdown again. This is a behaviour we implemented, not a Qt issue.
Could this be made more discoverable by having the drop down arrow a separate interaction area, and one which makes the menu come up immediately?
Given #1 & #2, should this bug be marked as fixed, or are there plans to make the menu more immediate?
No plan really, we are using a standard component, e.g. kmail uses the same in its toolbar, on the other hand, konqueror has a different, maybe more intuitive implementation, i'll leave it open as a wish
