            Bug ID: 473754
           Summary: Okular comment tool acting weird
    Classification: Applications
           Product: okular
           Version: 22.12.3
          Platform: Debian stable
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: tommi.nieminen at legisign.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
In late versions it seems to have become increasingly difficult to add a popup
comment. After making, say, a yellow highlight, the only way to actually open
up the popup to type its content seems to be using the sidepane’s Annotations
tab. Double-clicking the highlight only selects text (thus changing the tool on
mid-fly), and the empty highlight doesn’t have a context menu.

Also, at least on Finnish keyboard, AltGr+- (which inserts an en dash) makes
the popup to lose focus. The only Okular shortcut with “-” (dash) I can find is
Ctrl+- (zoom out) which works normally. Okular is also the only program that
seems to have difficulties with this key combination. 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a PDF
2. Choose the ”yellow highlighter”
3. Mark text and try adding the comment.

OBSERVED RESULT
There seems to be no way any more to open up the comment popup. 

EXPECTED RESULT
In old versions, one could double-click the marked text. Admittedly this often
resulted in adding another highlight (or even several) above the original one
if the mouse moved even the slightest amount, but at least it worked some of
the time. Now the only way seems to use the Annotations tab in the sidepane
which takes an extra step.
