            Bug ID: 358069
           Summary: Browse mode pointer should be an arrow not an hand to
                    improve precision
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.24.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: simgunz at gmail.com

In browse mode the pointer has a shape of a hand and not of an arrow. This may
makes sense since it simulates the action of grabbing the sheet but I think
that even with a shape of an arrow there wouldn't be any usability problems.

The reason I suggest to have it as  an arrow is the following:

Some popup notes (probably produced in Adobe) are rendered in okular as very
small triangles, so that to open the popup note a super high mouse pointing
precision is required. The "browse mode" pointer has a shape of a hand (and not
an arrow) so that it's even more difficult to hit the correct point to open the
popup note since it's not clear which is the "active" point of the cursor.



Reproducible: Always
