            Bug ID: 326605
           Summary: Inverse seach with kile doesn't work properly with the
                    new Ubuntu
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.17.2
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: DVI backend
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: valto at inventati.org

I have just updated to Ubuntu 13.10 (actually, I have another computer with a
fresh installation of 13.10 and the same problem).

Before the update, the inverse search between Okular and Kile worked perfectly.
Now, when I shift+click, 90% of the times the inverse search doesn't work. Some
time it works, but apparently it decides randomly when to work and when not to
work.

By "not working", I mean that when I shift+click Kile does not pop up with the
cursor at the right point in the tex file, and even if I switch manually to
Kile, the cursor is not in the right place.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a tex file in kile, compile it with "moden" option
2. open the dvi OR use the forward dvi command (which works perfectly)
3. use shift+click to use the inverse search
Actual Results:  
Most of the times it doesn't work. Nothing changes. Some time (apparently at
random) it does work.

Expected Results:  
Kile opens and the cursor on the source tex file shifts to the place
corresponding to the line in the dvi (or pdf) file used for the inverse search.

I didn't have this problem before upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10. Actually, I have 2
laptops, on one I upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10, on the other I made a fresh
installation.

In both cases, the inverse search doesn't work properly.
