           Summary: Clicking Cancel‌ in the "Document Password" window
                    brings up that same window again
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: uetsah at googlemail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)

This happens when you open a password-protected document, and then you realise
that you don't have the password at hand right now, so you click the "Cancel"
button in the window that asks for the password.
The expected behaviour would be for the password window to just dissapear and
the document not be opened.

Instead, clicking Cancel causes the password window to disappear and then
re-appear right away. Then clicking Cancel in that *second* password window,
the window disappears again and instead brings up an error message telling you
that the document can't be opened. Clicking Ok in that message box makes that
go away too. Of course you're then left with an empty okular window which
you'll probably want to close as well.

That's four clicks just to cancel trying to open a document. (!!!)

(Even if the "window reappering a second time" bug will be solved (1 click
less), it will still be poor usability design. In fact, two more clicks could
be saved if both the password entry form and the "Can't open document" message
weren't shown in their own popup-windows/message boxes, but instead embedded
into okular's main window area - right where the document would be shown if the
correct password were entered. Handling password-protected pdf's would be even
more intuitive that way, and deciding not to open a document after all after
seeing the password entry from will be as simple as closing that okular
window.)
