Package: okular Version: 4:4.8.4-3 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
okular should use a crosshair cursor for the annotation tools. This would make the annotation feature a lot more convenient to use. when I activate the annotation bar with F6 okular automatically changes to browse mode. This mode displays the cursor as a hand symbol. When I then activate any of the annotation tools, the cursor symbol is still a hand. This is unfortunate, as placement is important for many of the annotation tools. If I want to underline a line via the straight line tool, I want to be able to place the cursor precisely. The hand cursor however makes that very difficult, als the point that is marked is in the middle of the hand but the hand covers this point and the sourroundings. The cursor should have a symbol that allows for precise placement. A crosshair symbol would be ideal for this but even the usual up arrow would be a big improvement over the hand symbol. This issue is present in Okular version 0.14.3/KDE Platform 4.8.4 as well as in the development version Okular 0.16.60 which I compiled from source pulled from git. On a side note, xournal displays the cursor as a 2 by 2 pixel square which allows for very precise positioning but can make the cursor very difficult to locate again if you loose track of it. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (60, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable'), (10, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages okular depends on: ii kde-runtime 4:4.8.4-2 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libfreetype6 2.4.9-1.1 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-5 ii libjpeg8 8d-1 ii libkdecore5 4:4.8.4-4 ii libkdeui5 4:4.8.4-4 ii libkio5 4:4.8.4-4 ii libkparts4 4:4.8.4-4 ii libkprintutils4 4:4.8.4-4 ii libkpty4 4:4.8.4-4 ii libokularcore1 4:4.8.4-3 ii libphonon4 4:4.6.0.0-3 ii libpoppler-qt4-3 0.18.4-6 ii libqca2 2.0.3-4 ii libqimageblitz4 1:0.0.6-4 ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.8.2+dfsg-11 ii libqt4-svg 4:4.8.2+dfsg-11 ii libqt4-xml 4:4.8.2+dfsg-11 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.2+dfsg-11 ii libqtgui4 4:4.8.2+dfsg-11 ii libsolid4 4:4.8.4-4 ii libspectre1 0.2.7-2 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-5 ii phonon 4:4.6.0.0-3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 okular recommends no packages.
