           Summary: rotation and other settings are reverted when pdf is
                    reloaded
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.5.91
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: bugreports 8439 e4ward com


Version:           0.5.91 (using KDE 3.93.00 (KDE 4.0 Beta2), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22.9-0.4-default

I used okular to view a pdf which is regenerated automatically in the background from a tex file at regular intervals. With the standard settings, this works fine, okular updates it's view of the pdf, staying on the same page (same behavior kpdf always had)

However, if I view the pdf in a rotated mode, okular reloads it with the orginial orientation whenever the pdf changes. Additionally, if I was hiding the navigation panel, it reappears on reload. Basically, okular reverts to it's standard view settings on every change of the pdf.

This bug limits okular's ability to handle changing pdfs severely.
