Highlighting text in PDF

[DJDirk]

When highlighting text in the PDF mode, the pop-up settings panels (up the top and at the cursor) stick around after I have finished highlighting, and they obscure the text making it difficult to read. I have to disable it afterwards every time I use highlighter. Could the feature be tweaked so that the settings panels do not automatically pop up every time highlighter is used? (Please see attached screen shot).

Thank you.

I also find this extremely annoying: 

While having the ability to highlight text is great, it becomes unusable as the panel is bigger than needed and sticks on top of what one is trying to read. 

Similarly, when the file has been saved and new highlights made, one needs to save it again and overwrite the previous one. This should happen automatically, even if it means asking user for permissions to a specific folder.
