Comments displayed when highlight covered with mouse cursor hide away.

I insist on this. the fact that the comment do not remain visible until the mouse pointer leaves the highlight feels incosistent.
¿Is there a way to configure this?

Hello Laureano,

What you describe are tool tips which are visible for a duration provided by the toolkit. They are meant as a preview to decided whether to actually click on the comment to read it.

qpdfview has many great features, but I agree with the OP on this one.

To say it simply and provide an example, Evince handles text annotations the way I wish qpdfview did. In Evince when I hover over the icon of a note (or text annotation) the "tool tip" stays visible. Not only that, but text is automatically wrapped in a readable way.

Suppose I have a service manual in pdf form. Where the manual is not clear I add a text annotation. Some of those annotations are detailed (i.e., fairly long). Next time I have the manual open in Evince I can just hover over the note icon and read what I wrote. Even simple formatting such as numbered lists set off by carriage returns are preserved.

Presently in qpdfview I would have to hover over the note and hope I can get the gist of in the 1 sec it is open, then open the note to read it. Not only that but I have to use the scroll bar to see all of what I wrote because the comment box cannot be expanded. Plus any formatting is messed up. Dealing with multiple notes on a single page is painful in qpdfview.

You could give the daily debs a try. The tie the duration for which those are visible to the highlight duration used for SyncTeX which can be controlled via the settings dialog.
