> visual cue for selected annotation
> ----------------------------------

> Key: UIMA-1183
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1183
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CasEditor
> Affects Versions: 2.2.2CE
> Reporter: Philip Ogren
> Assignee: Jörn Kottmann
> Fix For: 2.3CE

>
> It is often hard to tell which annotation is selected. For example, when you
> click on an annotation in the outline, nothing changes in the text pane.
> This can be very disorienting if you have many annotations of the same type
> close together. Some visual cue would be very helpful. The default behavior
> in knowtator is to draw black lines above and below the span of the selected
> annotation. Another provided option is to fade out all of the other
> annotations leaving only the selected annotation a bright color. (I like the
> former better).
> Additionally, it would be nice if the annotations related via type features
> to the selected annotation could be visualized in the text pane. Knowtator
> does this by drawing dashed lines above and below the annotations that are
> related to the selected annotation.
