Review request for Okular.


Repository: okular


Description
-------

Unlike in other document formats, the annotations on PDF documents are rendered 
by the Poppler back-end along with the document itself.  Because this document 
rendering step is expensive we don't render annotations on PDF documents while 
the annotations are being moved (With Ctrl+Left click drag).  Instead of 
rendering the annotation itself during the move, we render a dashed outline of 
the annotation.  For non-PDF document types the annotations are rendered by 
Okular on top of the document, and so there is no large performance penalty in 
rendering the annotation smoothly as it is moved.  I find the aesthetic 
experience of moving annotations on non-PDF to be much more pleasing.

In this small patch updates the paintCroppedPageOnPainter() function draw 
external annotations using the internal annotation drawing logic while the 
annotation is being moved.  It also removes the dashed annotation outline 
during the move.  With this small change the experience of moving an annotation 
on a PDF now matches that of moving an annotation on the other document formats.

Two small oddities:  The rendering of the popup note icon differs between the 
Poppler back-end and Okular's internal rendering so the icon changes form while 
being moved and then changes back after being dropped.  The rendering of fonts 
on inline notes between the Poppler back-end and Okular's internal rendering 
seems to differ in some cases so as you move an inline note the font changes.

Thoughts?

Testing
-------

Tested drawing and moving each of the annotation types on a PDF document and on 
a DVI document. The behavior on the DVI document is unchanged. I find the 
behavior on the PDF document to be more natural.


Thanks,

Jon Mease
