Problem marking multiple points #539

Open tufixm opened 8 years ago

tufixm commented 8 years ago

Suppose we have a marking task using a pointTool. If I mark one point and click Next (or Done), the point remains. If, on the other hand I mark N points, the last point will always disappear upon clicking Next (or Done) and will not be available for an eventual transcription. Also, point N-1 is marked differently (small circle within a bigger one, with a cross inside), compared to the other N-2 (only the big circle with the cross inside).

However, if I want to, I can move the little circle (which moves together with the cross!) outside the bigger circle. This leads to having N-1 points marked with a big circle and a cross (which can be transcribed) and an N-th point marked with a small circle and a cross (which cannot be transcribed!). Also, the time the mouse is over this smaller N-th point, it turns into a normal one (still not able to transcribe it!).

Of course, if I click on the Done (bottom right) corresponding to the N-th point, the point behaves normal and all this doesn't happen.

I think this can be very frustrating for annotators who might think their efforts are going to waste.

I'd be happy to add images, if you can give me the right to do so.
