[Okular-devel] [Bug 205084] dvi source references don't work properly when --unique is used (not a backend problem)

Above is a somewhat minimal test case for this bug. The dvi file can be tested
stand-alone, the pdf file and the synctex.gz file need to be in the same folder
to test. The .tex file is for your info and not strictly needed to test this.

Run

okular --unique test.{dvi|pdf}#src:33test.tex

and the file should open roughly in the middle of page 3. Follow up with

okular --unique test.{dvi|pdf}#src:57test.tex

and you will see the view changing to page 1 with the page indicator flipping
to page 5 (as it should). The problem is that the viewport does not get updated
correctly (see comment #3 and comment #5).

The file should be self-explanatory once you see it, so you will be able to
create more sophisticated tests with it.

Incidentally, it may be that bug #199184 is essentially the same bug since the
workaround proposed there (press Ctrl+F triggering the search bar which also
updates the viewport) works here as well. The reporter of that bug doesn't
mention source references, though. Maybe the problem occurs as well if the
dvi/pdf file itself gets changed while viewing it (I can not trigger that on my
system, though)? Or the reporter of bug #199184 neglected to mention forward
search?
