            Bug ID: 506690
           Summary: Possible issue/Feature request: show/edit annotation
                    content in sidebar
    Classification: Applications
           Product: okular
      Version First 25.04.1
       Reported In:
          Platform: Ubuntu
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: tbernat82 at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

First, it would be nice to be able to see the full annotation's content in the
Annotations sidebar, instead of the type of annotation used (Highlight with
Comment, for example) followed by a cropped part of the text that fits in the
sidebar (which is the only display I can get). I am not sure if the incomplete
display should be the expected behavior, or if I am experiencing a bug.
Second, as a request, one could edit the text directly in the sidebar,
similarly to adobe acrobat reader, by double clicking the annotation.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE (the possible issue)
1. Highlight text
2. Create an associated popup note by double clicking, and insert text, e.g.
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus libero
nisl, vehicula nec convallis at, tempus non eros."
3. The Annotations sidebar when extended at the maximum shows "Highlight with
Comment: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisci..." , even when
clicking "Expand all elements"

EXPECTED RESULT (regarding the possible issue)
By default, the whole content should be displayed, on several lines if needed,
i.e. "Highlight with Comment: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur
adipiscing elit. Phasellus libero nisl, vehicula nec convallis at, tempus non
eros.". 
A button could allow to collapse all the annotations (therefore displaying only
one line per annotation, which is the current state). In fact, there are two
buttons: "Expand all elements/Collapse all elements", at the right bottom of
the sidebar that should perhaps do this, but they don't do anything for me, so
that might be an issue.
