Comment 5 for bug 1020979

That's great, I will download the latest version and take a look.

In my opinion, comments should not be displayed inline with the actual Pdf text.
This can distract from the original Pdf and could also be confusing.

Various Pdf readers (e.g. Adobe Reader, evince) use a modeless, floating box to display comments.
On some readers, these boxes even open when you scroll past them.
I think that is very annoying behavior, which needlessly clutters the screen when various comments are present per page.
Most of the time, I probably want to read each comment in detail, so there is no reason to have all comments open at the same time.

Thus, a modal pop-up window sounds better to me.
