Description richlv 2016-07-27 00:55:38 UTC
https://docs.kde.org/trunk4/en/kdegraphics/okular/annotations.html says "With a single left mouse button click on an annotation tool button you can use a tool once. If you e.g. want to highlight all important parts of a text, activate that tool permanently by double clicking on the tool button." (implemented in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161020).

this works - but the marker tool (shortcut 4) is deselected whenever the marked area is doubleclicked to add text to it, or some marked area is rightclicked to remove it.

it would be great if these two actions would not exit the 'continuous' mode.

usecase : i have to mark a lot of text and provide some comment on what's wrong with it. currently, the continuous mode doesn't help as doubleclicking a marked area to comment on it deselects the continuous mode (and the same with rightclicking to remove incorrectly added marking).

(sidenote - i was glad to see that the basic feature is already there, thanks for adding it years ago :) )

Reproducible: Always
