Summary: Usability: When selecting text with "Highlighter" review tool, dragging past view area bottom should scroll Product: okular Version: 0.9.2 Platform: Ubuntu Packages OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: general AssignedTo: okular-devel@kde.org ReportedBy: jrtaylo...@gmail.com Version: 0.9.2 (using KDE 4.3.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Currently when selecting text with the "Yellow Highlighter" from the Reviews toolbar, if I am selecting a large body of text and reach the bottom of the screen, Okular does not scroll the page and allow me to continue highlighting further down. It just stops, which means that I then have to delete the annotation, zoom out, and redo. Sometimes, if I want to select a very large portion of the page, I have to zoom out so much that I can't read the text anymore. What I would like, is for Okular to scroll down the page when I drag the highlighter tool past the bottom of the viewing area. Second, when I reach the bottom of a page, and wish to continue highlighting on the following page, Okular does not allow me to continue dragging the highlighter past the end of a page and continue onto the next one -- I instead have to do two separate annotations, one per page. The second issue (not allowing to continue highlighting from one page to the next), seems like there might be a technical difficulty in implementing it, due to the way that the docdata XML format for Okular stores annotations with a <pageList>, where each <page> contains <annotation>'s, rather than having a list of <annotation>'s containing <pages> elements. It seems like this would require some modification of the way that Okular stores annotations, which might not be worth the effort considering the benefits. However, the first issue (scrolling when dragging past bottom of screen) seems like it should be relatively simple to implement, and doesn't seem like it would require any heavy overhauls of anything. Any reasons why this would not be fixable?
