---------------------------------

             Summary: Add new boolean CAS-Editor Preference
                 Key: UIMA-4169
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-4169
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.6.0SDK
         Environment: Eclipse Kepler + Luna
            Reporter: Markus Krug
            Priority: Minor


When you use the Quick Annotate action in the CAS-Editor and do the following:

Given the text: "the dog is black"

  1) Create an annotation of Type x on "dog"
  2) Create an annotation of Type x on "the dog"

the first annotation on "dog" gets deleted automatically. It would be nice to have a preference where this could be set if its wanted or not.

Both have possible use-cases:
The way it is now you can just correct your selection when you missed a letter the first time

The way i need it atm is to annotate recursively ( like nounphrases can contain further nounphrases)

Best regards
