First thanks for having pdf forward search available in okular. However I
noticed a small inconsistency between the way okular handles forward search for
dvi and pdf documents.

I will attach documents which allow to test the behaviour

You can use 

okular test.(dvi|pdf)#src:<line no.>test.tex

to run forward search.
It also works if you use absolute pathes for your files or relative pathes.

However if your relative path starts with './', it only works for dvi files.

To reproduce run

okular loremipsum.dvi#src:25./loremipsum.tex

and compare with 

okular loremipsum.pdf#src:25./loremipsum.tex

with the attached files
