    Description

      The Annotation Editor can select annotations which are of the current mode type. Currently the selection can only be changed if a new annotation is selected.

      It turned out that this behavior is confusing especially for new users for the following reasons:

      • If only one annotation exists, it cannot be un-selected
      • and the annotation color is unexpected, because it is the selection color

      To fix this un-select the annotation when the cursor moves away from the annotation. This way a new user will find out that the color changes depending on the curser position rather quickly.
