Description Samuele 2024-07-02 23:52:14 UTC
SUMMARY
Right now using the typewriter annotation tool I don't get any feedback on its size and I often find myself with cropped texts as the default size is very small.
I can't find a way to select them and resize them, but the actual problem is that, even if I can click and drag with the mouse to create a bigger note, I can't actually see my selection.
I propose adding an outline to the selection the click+drag operation makes, as in any desktop and file manager where I can select things.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select the typewriter annotation tool
2. Click and drag the mouse to select an area

OBSERVED RESULT
I can't recognize the area I'm selecting.

EXPECTED RESULT
I should be able to see which area I'm selecting.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

The outline already exists, but it is actually so bright that I couldn't see it. Sorry.
At this point the request becomes at least making it black, as now I see it as a dotted white line. The best option would be to automatically find the colour which has the better contrast with the background.

And obviously I found how to enter Navigation mode and be able to select and resize these notes. Nonetheless, I don't properly see the outline when creating them.
