Description David 2021-01-16 12:25:49 UTC
SUMMARY
Whenever an annotation of type underline/highlight/geometricalshape has an attached note, Okular does not display any icon (like other readers do). So it is impossible to know without double clicking each single annotation.
I'm marking it as bug (not whishlist) as same type of annotation made with other programs (such as Adobe reader) indeed show a marker icon next to them. So it's only when the annotation is made by Okular.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make a underline/highlight/geometricalshape annotation
2. Double click on it and write something as attached comment
3. close the comment box 

OBSERVED RESULT
see no mark nor icon appears

EXPECTED RESULT
A mark or icon should appear to signal presence of attached comments

It's really not a bug, I'm not going to change it to wish because I don't feel like arguing with you, but there's nothing wrong in what Okular does, so not a bug.

You're of course free to reassign this to whatever you think it's correct. I appreciate your tactfulness, I wouldn't be arguing if you did: I was just explaining my choice + mentioning the fact other annotations of same type show different behavior.
Having that said, I hope you'll eventually find spare time to improve this (as under intensive use it's not comfortable)
I have much respect for you guys, always doing an amazing job, day by day. You're much of an inspiration tbh.
