Currently I can only highlight once. I click review tools then highlight and then select the text. Cursor changes from highlight to browse. When I read large ebooks, I highlight every few minutes making me have to hit highlight button every time I want to use it. I use two-fingers gesture or mouse middle button to scroll across the pdf. It would be very helpful if highlight selection persist until canceled. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. highlight a text. 2. highlight cursor switched to browse 3. Actual Results: after highlighting cursor switches to browse Expected Results: highlight should stick to highlight until canceled and user be able to highlight multiple text in one go.

Thank you Albert. What do you think about giving an option to make permanent-highlighting as the default behavior? I spend a few hours everyday reading books in Okular. So it is important for me that most-used-things are set as default. If in future Annotation Tools/Highlight can also be placed in toolbar it would make sense to have such an option.
I think you can double click once at the beginning of your few hours of reading and it'll be like 0.00001% of your time. No need to clutter the interface for something 1 person needs.
