           Summary: okular dvi inverse search clicking often 'misses'
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jaaksimm at firm.ee


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

When doing DVI inverse search in Okular (by holding shift and clicking with
left mouse button) clicking often does not have any effect. Probably it means
that it missed.

The preferred behavior would be that DVI inverse search almost always goes to a
line in the source text. Probably it's because of the DVI document, but it
should be possible to look up the closest element and do the inverse search
according to it. At least KDVI managed to do inverse search for almost any
clicked location.

PS I used kile for the inverse search, but probably similar behavior is present
with other editors.
