Bug Description
When I click on “Person” (the first occurrence) in the tree, the corresponding text is highlighted in the Raw Text “Test Document.” But if I click on the child, “source,” no text is highlighted. Why is this? Is it because it is an annotation of an annotation? This is a problem. Can we have the highlight function applied to any document in the tree, whether parent or child?
Btw, in relation to the other thread on highlighting, are we going to pursue the idea of a single-click highlight, so that we don't have to open a document in order to activate the highlighting?
To post a comment you must log in.
The purpose of the target highlighting is very specific: show me where this
annotation is attached. What you need, on the other hand, is the ability to
visualize the entire attachment hierarchy.
The simplest solution would be to extend the target highlighting so that it
highlighted the target, as usual, in a bright yellow, but then also
highlighted any ancestral attachment points in a pale yellow. Would that
work for your needs Brent?
