SUMMARY
***
I'm a recent user of Okular and I love it. I use it very often for marking text
PDFs! The highlighter/marker tool is great. I have 2 suggestions how to make it
even greater: a) when it's activated double-clicking on a word should highlight
it. Often I just want to highlight one word and it would be very practical and
intuitive (as is the case with normal text selection) to highlight/mark it with
a double-click. b) starting mid-word with a highlight should capture the whole
word from the beginning (or ending mid-word capture the whole word until the
end), or at least as an option to capture whole words. This would greatly
reduce time needed to mark words because most of it is incurred when aiming for
the beginning/end of the passage to be highlighted/marked.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. select highlighter/marker tool
2. double-click on word OR
3. mark a passage, starting/ending mid-word

OBSERVED RESULT
a) word is not marked
b) word is marked mid-word

EXPECTED RESULT
a) word is marked
b) whole word is marked
