            Bug ID: 427903
           Summary: Back-forward navigation broken when a we follow an
                    internal PDF link by clicking it
           Product: okular
           Version: 1.11.2
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Other
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: kishore96 at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
With the latest version of okular (1.11.2), the page number in the toolbar
updates during a scroll action (this wasn't the case earlier). This change
seems to have broken back-forward navigation. If I follow an internal link in a
PDF, and then press Go>Back, the PDF just scrolls slightly up (to the last view
visible during the scroll action) and not to the page containing the link I
clicked.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a PDF which contains an internal link.
2. Click a link that takes you to a (far away) page.
3. Once the scroll action is finished, click 'Go > Back'.

OBSERVED RESULT
Okular scrolls just one 'view region' up/down, instead of scrolling to the
place where the clicked link was.

EXPECTED RESULT
On pressing 'back', Okular should scroll to the page containing the clicked
link.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0
Qt Version: 5.15.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
With this version (1.11.2), okular started updating the page number shown in
the 'page number' toolbar during a scroll action (earlier, it would update only
after finishing the scroll action). I guess this somehow messes up okular's
history. Downgrading to okular 1.11.1 fixes the issue.
