Can not display contents of markes if "Auto-collapse Iconic Panels" is ON

[K.Daube]

Dear all,

Since quite a number of FM version the Marker Pod shows the selected marker only if it is open, before t he marker symbol is selected. This makers it impossible to get the marker text visible in the pod for the setting "Auto-collapse Iconic Panels" (FRMAKER-10962 ). Please vote on this!

Test

- Have a marker symbol selected in the document
- Open the Marker Pod
→ Nothing is displayed
- Going back to the document closes the Marker pod according to the settings
- Place cursor behind the marker symbol
- Open the Marker Pod
The following allows to see the marker contents, if the mentioned setting is OFF):
- In the document select the marker symbol
→ If the setting is ON, this operation immediately closes the Marker Pod...

Workaround
Do not use "Auto-collapse Iconic Panels" = ON for certain work. This is clumsy, as the setting is welcome in most cases.

Klaus, thank you very much!

Yes. Very annoying. I voted for your tracker report.

There are already a few other reports about this. I will mention these in the comments of the report.

Please also consider this marker issue:

In the marker pod I cannot use any shortcut to create or change a new marker. I enter the text, e.g. for an index marker, and then I have to switch to the mouse to accept my changes. Not convenient!
