Editing text, no mouse cursor edit functions

Open aha999 opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug While editing text, hovering over text with a mouse should change the "move" function icon to the line, with which you can select text with a mouse or click to move to that section of text. Like in all text editors basically.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install Ksnip
  2. Take a screenshot with Ksnip
  3. Open image editor to edit the taken screenshot
  4. select the Add Text function
  5. Click on one part of the screenshot so the Text Editor opens at the clicked location
  6. Write some text
  7. If you hover a mouse cursor over text, you will see that it doesn't change its icon from a "move function" or "hand" to the "text select" or "vertical line" icon
  8. You are unable to use the "mouse cursor to help edit the text

Expected behavior Hovering a mouse cursor over text while editing it should change functions to the same one as in all text editors and places where you enter text, example: LibreOffice. Functions including: Select text with mouse by clicking and dragging the mouse, click on text to move the editing to that location between letters, double click to select one word etc.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Linux
  • Distribution in case of Linux EndeavourOS
  • Window System in case of Linux X11
  • ksnip version 1.9.2
  • How did you install ksnip Pamac

Additional context Will be provided if questioned.

Support for it was never implemented therefor it's not a bug but a feature request. Thanks for logging it.
