Hiding quests more easily

Use case

Hello, sometimes in blocks there are a lot of buildings that you can't see.

When I go out to do some StreetComplete I look on the unzoomed map where I haven't passed, having never completed the quests for these buildings I think I haven't passed here.

Proposed Solution

What I would like is to be able to hide these quests more easily,

Currently to hide a quest you need:

• click on the quest
• scroll down completely
• click on "Other answers..."
• click on "Can't say..."
• press "Hide"

So it takes 5 interactions before a quest is hidden, which is very annoying when you have to do it several times in a row.

Quests about buildings can disabled in settings and you don't is forced to answer at all quests :)

I don't want to disable the building quests... on the contrary they are the ones I answer the most. It's just a pain sometimes when the bubble of a building that's inside that you can't see overrides the bubble of a building you want to complete.

Yes, not being able to get small circle to become real Quest icon is a known problem.

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/StreetComplete/FAQ#Some_quests_are_obstructed_by_other_quests,_and_I_can't_zoom_in_enough and linked tickets for more info.

So an idea would be to show this in a context-menu on long-press. However, I think long-press should be reserved for #124 . Unless both could be shown somehow.

Also, if transition to Maplibre library works out (see #3123), it should allow you to zoom-in enough to see all quests (#4555 & others), thus solving this issue.

Yeah, with MapLibre you can zoom in much further, so this solves the use case described in the initial post. (No need to think about workarounds for this, like temporarily quickly hiding other quests)
