            Bug ID: 325119
           Summary: Size of inline notes not adjusted to font size and
                    does not respect drawn boundaries
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.17.1
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: michael.fsp at gmail.com

When inserting an inline note in a PDF file the size of the rectangular
background area seems to be determined solely by number of characters, not
taking into account the font size, and the boundaries of that rectangle do not
respect the boundaries drawn by the user when inserting the note.

This makes it very hard to use the space available in a text document to write
inline notes as, even shrinking font size, it will most often just overlap with
document's content. I am also not able to constrain the area where the note
will show up as okular seems to only partially obey the rectangle the user
draws by clicking and dragging when inserting the note.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Adjust annotation settings and decrease font size for the inline notes to
say, Ubuntu 8. Change positioning of text to Centered (optional)
2. Click on the inline annotation button (may be necessary to first bring the
Review Panel by pressing F6)
3. Click and drag to draw a rectangular area where the desired note should be.
4. Write a somewhat long piece of text (about 2 full sentences).
Actual Results:  
Observe how disproportional the rectangular area is to the text, wasting a lot
of space and covering other parts of the document, and how it does not respect
the area drawn by the user in step 3.

Expected Results:  
The rectangular area drawn by the user should be respected and/or the rectangle
shape should fit the text and be calculated based on font size and area drawn
by the user.
