Jörn Kottmann commented on UIMA-1875:
-------------------------------------

Handled the overlap problem a little different now, the tag is placed depending 
on the location of the annotation.
It tries to always center the tag below the annotation, but that is not 
possible if the annotation is in the begin
or end of line and an overhang occurs.
The overhang is now allowed to be two chars, if the tag is longer its trimmed 
down.

We have to see how this works in practice maybe the overhang should be reduced 
to be only
one char. It also works much nicer if the text itself uses a bigger font size 
than the default 12. 
Hopefully the default font size will be increased by default to 14 in the 
release after 2.3.1.

Its still possible to have overlapping tags, I hope that can be optimized a 
little more in
the future.

Please report your experience back, so we can improve this feature.

> I spent a bit of time evaluating the CAS Editor recently and have the 
> following suggestion.  It is common to have annotation tasks in which adding 
> a primitive value to a annotation feature happens frequently.  Here's one 
> common annotation task - part-of-speech tagging.  Usually, the way this task 
> is performed is a part-of-speech tagger is run on some data and a 
> part-of-speech tag is added as a string value to a feature of a token type.  
> The annotator's task is then to look at the part-of-speech tags and make sure 
> they look right and fix the ones that aren't.  However, the only way to see 
> the part-of-speech tag is by clicking on the token annotation in the text and 
> view the value of the feature in the editor view.  This makes the tool really 
> unusable for this annotation task.  What would be really nice is to be able 
> to display the part-of-speech tags above or below the tokens so that the 
> linguist can scan the sentence with its tags and quickly find the errors.  
> There are a number of other annotation tasks that have similar requirements.  
> For example, named entities usually have category labels which would be nice 
> to display.  Word sense disambiguation data is also similar.
