Bug ID: 488312
Summary: Text Highlighting: Enable editing of coordinates of
the bounding box
Classification: Applications
Product: okular
Version: 23.08.5
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: okular-de...@kde.org
Reporter: leo.m...@syonic.eu
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The size of the bounding box when highlighting text inside a pdf-document is
sometimes wrong.
The top and bottom boundaries are most-commonly affected. The left/right
boundaries are sometimes affected as well (severly affected).
SOLUTION
Enable the editing of the coordinates of the bounding box.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open certain pdfs (I can provide an example)
2. Highlight certain text-sections
OBSERVED RESULT
Case 1: Bounding box extends way beyond the last word (covering even part of
the next word).
Case 2: Bounding box extends well beyond the bottom of the words (at least 2x
as high as the actual words).
EXPECTED RESULT
Solution 1: compute more robustly the bounding box (but problems may still
appear).
Solution 2: allow users to change manually the coordinates of the bounding box,
e.g. in the properties window.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Can provide example pdfs.
Solution 2 would allow to manually correct the bounding box. The coordinates
could be displayed in the properties window (only in the case of a simple
rectangular area). More complex areas could be covered in future issues.
