            Bug ID: 307120
          Severity: normal
           Version: 0.14.3
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
           Summary: context menu broken when using Text Selection
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: wassipaul at gmx.at
          Hardware: Mageia RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: okular

When using Text Selection mode (Ctrl-4), there is no context menu.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Ctrl-4
2) Don't select any text!
3) Right-click anywhere - nothing happens

Expected result:
Context menu appears, allowing to add a bookmark etc.

NOTE: This is particularly bad for unexperienced users in the following
scenario:
1) Ctrl-4
2) Toggle Full Screen (Ctrl-Shift-F)
3) Right-click -> nothing happens.
In other modes (except for Zoom mode, but that is an other issue as there
right-click is used for zooming out) a context menu appears which offers you to
end Full Screen mode. This is especially important as none of the usual
shortkeys to leave full screen mode (F11, Esc) work. Also, the other "modes"
(Ctrl-[1-5]) can only be invoked throught keyboard shortcuts, as there is no
GUI for changing them present in full screen mode. I found myself being locked
into full screen mode this way - for unexperienced users, this might pose quite
a challenge.

Thank you for all your work on Okular, it rocks for scientific reading!

PS: Maybe a visible GUI element (like a semi-transparent button in the right
bottom corner fading in when you toggle full screen mode; or, more
traditionally, an additional button in the bar at the bottom) would be a
user-friendlier way to end fullscreen mode. This goes beyond the scope of this
bug report, however.
