1787298 - Allow editing by double click on annotations using the pointer cursor

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, enhancement)

Description

[Marco Castelluccio [:marco]]

Current behavior:
The pointer cursor does not allow clicking and selection and movement of annotation items (for the current annotation session)
Desired behavior:
The pointer cursor allows selection and movement of annotation items (for the current annotation session), and a double click on text annotations would enter into edit mode (the way double clicking from ink annotation into text annotation works now).

Comment 1

We are re-evaluating this behavior given the current functionality in pdf.js of opening a popup when clicking on an annotation to show a comment associated to it.

We will start by implementing the double click.

(In reply to Marco Castelluccio [:marco] from comment #2)

We will start by implementing the double click.

Please keep in mind that double-clicking is being used to trigger downloading of FileAttachment-annotations, such that we don't break that use-case in the process.

This is working for pre-existing annotations now, but it is not working for newly added annotations.
