Make the Annotator button appear when adding the third annotation to the same text

[tanius]

When selecting a piece of text of which all characters already have two annotations, the Annotator overlay button does not appear. But it should :)

There is a workaround available as follows:

1. Select the text. The Annotator overlay button will not appear as reported.

2. Use Shift + click to change the end of the text selection to now extend beyond the end of the annotation in which your to-be-coded text is contained. The Annotator button will now appear.

3. Use Shift + click to change the end of the text selection back to what it was in step 1.

There is another workaround, observed by one of our users:

Once you have coded the text selection (which is normally restricted to two or three annotations per selection), you can add more annotations by double-clicking right before you […] [select the coded] text again. So, double click and then drag over the selected text.

As mentioned in a closed duplicate of this:

The right click fix [probably means: double-click fix] doesn't work all the time, and it makes coding erratic – workaround has been highlighting slightly different portions of text, but this still creates issues sometimes if you don't do it perfectly.

Ideal fix is multiple annotations to one part of text at a time, but if not possible then fixing this function would be an improvement.

Since the "ideal fix is multiple annotations to one part of text at a time", we'll attempt that instead, which is managed in #60. Removing the "Important" tag for that reason from here and adding it to #60.

In other words, once #60 is fixed, this one can be closed as "won't fix".

once #60 is fixed, this one can be closed as "won't fix"

Now #60 is fixed.

The other good news is that this issue here was also fixed in the meantime:

But we fixed the bug that the annotator button does not appear when the same section of a text is tagged multiple times. (source)
