Bug#869663: [okular] Review tools should not be automatically switched off right after used

[Michael Weghorn <m.weghorn@posteo.de>]

Hi Antonio,

when you use the mouse instead of the keyboard shortcut to select the 
highlighter, you have (at least) two options:

1) When you enable the highlighter using a single mouse click, the 
behaviour is as you described.
2) When you enable the highlighter using a double mouse click, the 
highlighter remains active and is not automatically unselected after you 
highlight a single passage of text.

Is 2) basically  the behaviour you wish to have? If so, is it sufficient 
as it is implemented now?
Otherwise: Can you possibly give some more details on your suggestion to 
add a manual toggling option? Can you make a proposal on where exactly 
it might be added and how the the user would interact with 
(enable/disable) it?

Regards,
Michael
