ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
my signature requires more than one stroke and this is a deal breaker

also present on okular 1.7.70 flatpak

(I guess it has always been this way. I think it's terrible behaviour - many people don't sign with 1 stroke)

You have to select "freehand line" by *double*-clicking.  If you do that it stays selected permanently.

I agree that UI-wise this is less than optimal.  Anyone for replacing double clicks by single clicks here?

In general, me. But currently, every stroke becomes a new annotation.

I think that's a separate issue.
