Highlighted text annotations but impossible to guess which ones contain notes
When proofreading pdf-files a very common pattern is the use of a combination
of visual highlighting combined with a pup-up note.
The issue is that once the pop-up note is closed - there is no visual clue,
that the highlighted text is actually combined with a pop-up note.
It would be great if the highlighting itself could contain a visual hint. E.g.
in the form of a small semitransparent square or dot at the end of the
highlighting.
This applies to the following annotations: highlight, underline, squiggle and
strike-out.
Workaround: point your cursor above an annotation and wait, the note will be
displayed as a hint, after a small amount of time. However, this is annoying in
cases with many highlighted text pieces, when only some parts are combined with
notes. In this case you have to put your cursor above each highlighted text to
check for notes.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Highlight text in a document.
2. Point to the highlight marker, right click, choose: "Open pop-up note" - to
generate a combined "highlight with note"
3. Write your comment into the pop-up note and close the pop-up window.
OBSERVED RESULT
There is no visual clue, that the highlighting is combined with a pop-up note.
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be a visual clue, that the highlighting is combined with a pup-up
note.
