            Bug ID: 323454
           Summary: Show me where annotations are when I select them in
                    the "review" sidebar.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.16.5
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: pete at muddygoat.org

If I open a PDF document containing someone else's annotations, I often open up
the review sidebar, and go through the annotations in the tree structure, one
by one. For small annotations (e.g. a strikethrough a single character, or a
caret) it can be very difficult to spot where in the document the annotation
is.

Clicking on the annotation in the sidebar scrolls the document to show
*roughly* where the annotation is, but for small annotations, you still have to
do quite a bit of hunting through the document to find it. This is an
unpleasant experience, and for documents with more than a few annotations, I
often just give up and use a different reader.

When an annotation is selected in the sidebar, could the annotation be
highlighted in the main document? I.e. a large yellow circle around the
annotation in the document, perhaps just visible for a few seconds? This would
make reviewing annotations much more pleasant.

Thanks.

PS. I've put this as "wishlist", but to be honest, I think it's probably a
usability (i.e. non-functional) bug.

Reproducible: Always
