Bug ID: 398217
Summary: Permanent Highlighter stops working when switching
from Okular to other apps and back
Product: okular
Version: 1.4.3
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: okular-***@kde.org
Reporter: ***@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Flags: Usability-

I noticed this issue now at least twice on different days.

It happens when I have the highlighter on the Review bar double clicked, then
start working on the opened PDF file and later change from Okular to let's they
the Chrome browser to do some other stuff. When I then return to the opened PDF
file to continue reading and highlighting, the highlighter icon on the Review
bar is still enabled but you cannot select any text anymore to apply the
highlighter.

Is this only with Chrome or happens if you switch to some other app?

Can you reproduce it all the time and will all pdf files?

Thanks Albert for following up!
Since I have reported this particular issue in September it seems to have
disappeared. Despite my very still very intensive use of Okular to annotate PDF
files, this issue is not bothering me anymore.
