Bug ID: 437774
Summary: Document sometimes reloads after saving annotations
Product: okular
Version: 21.04.1
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: PDF backend
Assignee: okular-de...@kde.org
Reporter: pbs3...@googlemail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When I modify and save the annotations in a PDF document, usually Okular does
not reload the file, which is the correct behaviour. The bug is that sometimes,
it does. This happens very rarely, and non-deterministically.
Once it has happened, it cannot be made to happen again by undoing and redoing
the annotations, suggesting it's due to some timing problem or race condition.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a document, then starting making changes to the annotations and saving
them, navigating around in between.
2. Wait a long time for it to happen.
OBSERVED RESULT
Eventually the document reloads.
EXPECTED RESULT
The document should never reload.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.82.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Graphics Platform: X11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I've been experiencing this bug in all versions of Okular since about a year
ago, and for all I know it may have existed before then.
I'm sorry the steps to reproduce above aren't of much use. If you have any
better suggestions, like patching Okular to record why it's reloading the file
and what's going on, I'd be happy to follow them.
