Input box fades out during unicode input #197

Closed alexander-winkler closed 4 years ago

alexander-winkler commented 4 years ago

When I try to input a unicode character (ctrl+shift+u, Unicode codepoint) in LAREX Page View, the input box fades out and becomes hardly recognizable. Same behaviour both in chromium and firefox.

before after

The problem is due to the "opacity: .2" property in viewer.css (#textline-content .fade). When I manually disable this property in my browser, the issue disappears.

"Fading" the input text line is actually a feature to help annotating the text lines in cases where the following line might be important for deciphering characters. I have to admit that using the Shift button to fade the input text is a bit of an odd choice as it's a pretty common key for inputting text. We'll change the shortcut for that feature, this should solve the problem. Thanks for your input.
