            Bug ID: 398108
           Summary: Annoying switch from Browse to Text Selection when
                    annotating
           Product: okular
           Version: 1.3.3
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: bingelt at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

This is more a feature request than a bug report, however I would consider this
awkward behavior to be a bug. :-)
First, congratulations, Okular is a nice app!

At the moment, I primarily use Okular to highlight sections in PDF files.
However, every so often I see an interesting hyperlink to additional
information on the Internet, which I tend to visit, but this requires switching
from Browse mode to text selection mode. This is unfortunate, because then the
Review bar disappears and I have to press F6 again to restore it, which
triggers the text selection mode to switch back to Browse mode. This is very
awkward behavior.

Another missing feature in Okular is that you cannot bold face or italicize a
text selection. Very unfortunate!
