FWIW, comment 5 what I actually intended :P. They 'different anchor' was there
also for aesthetically & practical reasons.

* aesthetically -> Big square kind of big and ugly (however easy to select and
drag) and not in line with toggle formatting color
* Practically: if toggle on would show anchors all they time, parts of they
they text would be hidden behind an anchor. So more transparent png should be
used not overlapping text (clickable area could stay the same I expect, but
would need testing)

So Heiko kind of hijacking my bug/ or nicely said.. implementing a part of they
suggestion :P. Not sure if there is a new bug needed for discussion on they
other part

Not knowing where 'to character' anchors are quite unpractical sometimes (as
comment 5)
