                    bounding box with typewriter tool text
    Classification: Applications
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified

            Status: REPORTED

Hello!

Problem: When annotating a PDF with the typewriter tool, you can no longer
change the bounding box / container for the text in a pdf.  This is essential
to move the text, get it to flow around the existing content, or if the text is
too large/long for the box etc.  (Previous versions had little handles for
moving the text about)

As of last week in Debian testing, this worked, but it recently broke.  To see
if this is a KDE or Debian problem, I compiled okular from source, directly
from git.  Version 25.03.70.  Both have the same bug.  Maybe it's a Poppler
issue, idk!  Happy to dig deeper on this issue, I use okular constantly, and
not being able to type comments is a blocking bug!  

(Now that I have it from source, might add an option to revert the annotation
icons back to text only. The latter is easier to use & takes up less screen
space.  That's a preference and not a bug, though..)


Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian Testing / 6.12.9-amd64
