There appear to be several scenarios und which the Go To Page links do not work anymore with PDF files. By Go To Page links, I mean these links in typical scientific papers were an integer is enclosed in squared brackets allowing you to click on it to go to the cited paper in the reference section of the document. Scenarios all in Browse mode: 1) When the highlighter of the annotation bar is enabled by double clicking, the link does not seem to work anymore all the time 2) Apparently when you switch multiple times between text selection and Browse mode, these links do not work anymore 3) (I believe there is even a third scenario, wich I cannot replicate at the moment anymore) In my estimation, these links should never be disabled no matter in which mode the user is in. This is awkward behavior.
1) If you're creating higlights, you're creating highlights, so by definition we have decided that links won't function, the cursor doesn't turn into a hand either, so that's pretty clear 2) Can you really reproduce this?

So by definition is wrong! For anyone, who does serious work with a PDF needs to be able to follow bibliographical references at any time whether in highlighter mode or not. What I do at the moment is I open same PDF document twice, i.e. in Okular and in the default PDF reader, so that I can follow these links. This is not very convenient! Then, the question remains how can I highlight a link if I am in highlight mode and the link is active as described above, right?
See my latest comment. I had to write this comment, because bug status change would error when there is no comment!
I can reproduce this issue as such: - open file - highlight - save - observe: some links are broken - refresh (F5) - observe: those links work again So a solution could be to always refresh after saving? Personally I've started using Ctrl+S, F5 as *the* save keychord. I believe Thomas means "when the review toolbar is active" rather than a certain review tool is active. In my experience you can click links in browse mode and also when review toolbar is enabled too (F6). I can attest that frequent jumps are a very common use case in any sort of scientific reading. (It'd actually be a nice feature if you could follow links in new windows / tabs, or even with a popup preview in some part of the window in which you could annotate. Would be a huge speed boost for my use cases.)
Also, links that are below highlights are no longer clickable, and text no longer selectable which are not really desirable effects.

Please excuse my too many comments but this is the last one: text is selectable, it was a little brain fart on my part, sorry.
