I know the difference. As I wrote, I looked in the Okular settings and could
not find anything regarding JavaScript. I googled and read that Okular can
execute JavaScript in PDF forms, therefore I reported it as bug not as
enhancement.
Meanwhile you sent ma a YouTube link showing that it works in same cases but as
it doesn't work for my case I think bug was the correct report.

However, you cannot expect from new users to make the right decision in
reporting things.

> Honestly this is probably easy to fix, but given your attitude (I guess your software never has bugs nor missing features) I don't feel very inclined to spend much time having a look at fixing it.

I wonder that you the bug reports personally. I don't know you and you don't
know me. I was just trying out Okular and reported all things I found so far.
It makes me sad that your personal preference if you like a bug reporter or not
is involved in the decision to fix a bug or not. I think what I reported
affects many users out there so it should be in general worth it to fix it,
independent that I reported the issue at first.
