Description Aleix Pol 2011-04-19 15:46:58 UTC
Version:           0.10.5 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

After selecting it's too complicated to get back to the usual hand mode to properly navigate inside the document.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- Select "Selection tool"
- Select anything, or not.
- Desire to see something different


Actual Results:  
You have to go back to the menu

Expected Results:  
A toolbar icon with a hand

I'd say this could be a JJ.

Further discussion with my father (the actual reporter of this bug) brought some light to the issue.

It's hard to notice when you're back to the visualization mode (translating from the catalan translation, I'm not sure it's the same name) it's a little hard to see you're in a "browsing" mode.

He's used to Acrobat reader where there's a cursor that changes indicating that if you click and drag the document is going to move.

Additionally he/we don't think that the icon identifying the visualization action (a mouse) is not very indicative on what it's about. It's a mouse because you need the mouse to browse? That would apply to all the tools there!

You mean your father actually uses the left mouse drag to mouse around in the document? I thought most people would just mouse wheel trough it.

Actually i see we already do what you want i.e. "providing a icon to disable selection mode" so i think you should close this bug and then open different wishes for:
 * I want a better icon in the browse mode
 * I want the cursor to change in selection mode

Fine, if that's going to make your life easier...

And yes, he expects the little hand when he's moving the document.
