            Bug ID: 306844
          Severity: normal
           Version: 0.15.1
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
           Summary: synctex inverse search no longer works; Okular doesn't
                    respond to Shift+Click
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: langec at web.de
          Hardware: Gentoo Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: PDF backend
           Product: okular

When opening a PDF file created with the synctex feature of pdflatex or
lualatex, Okular no longer supports inverse search, i.e. it does not respond to
Shift+Click.

(Note, I didn't find any corresponding entry in the “configure shortcuts”
dialog – could that mean my configuration is broken?)

To make sure that it is not a problem with invoking my editor, I set the
command line for the “custom text editor” to “kdialog --msgbox %l”.

BTW, I _think_ that inverse search should work regardless how Okular has been
started. If step (1) below shouldn't work for you, try to start Okular by
forward search, e.g.

okular --unique
'file:///home/clange/tmp/test-lua.pdf#src:3/home/clange/tmp/./test-lua.tex'

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached file test-lua.pdf (or test-pdf.pdf) in Okular.
2. Go to some page, do a Shift+Click on some text.
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
Okular should open the TeX source in some editor.
