Description Jonas Lippuner 2014-05-07 17:53:48 UTC
When the 'Text Selection' tool is active, I cannot click on any hyperlinks in a PDF file (created with pdflatex and hyperref). This applies to internal PDF links and URLs. When selecting the 'Browse' tool, the links work.

This is a serious flaw in Okular as I usually want to have the Text Selection tool active so that I can copy text without having to click on another button first, but of course, I also want to be able to click on links without first having to switch to the Browse tool.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create PDF with links (e.g. citations or URLs) with pdflatex and hyperrref
2. Open PDF in Okular
3. Select 'Text Selection' tool
4. Try to click on a link in the PDF
Actual Results:  
Cannot click on any links. The mouse cursor doesn't even respond to hovering over a link (cursor remains I-beam instead of changing to link pointer).

Expected Results:  
The cursor should change form I-beam to link pointer when hovering over a link and then the link should be followed when clicked upon. This is the behavior that Okular correctly exhibits when using the 'Browse' tool.
