KDE Software Compilation 414701 0 VHI RESOLVED Kinetic scrolling breaks Back and Forward navigation 2020-11-10 07:12:48 UTC

Description Rajeesh 2020-11-10 07:12:49 UTC
Description of problem:
The kinetic scrolling mechanism implemented in Okular 20.08 breaks the ‘go back’/‘go forward’ navigation (for e.g. use ‘go to page n’ and then ‘go back’ to previous location no longer takes exactly back to the previous location. There is upstream bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414701 and a one-line fix available. Unfortunately, no more 20.08.y point release will be made, upstream urges distros to cherry-pick the fix.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
20.08 (okular version 1.11.2)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a PDF in okular (stay on page 1)
2. Go to page 5 using navigation (Ctrl+G)
3. Go back (Alt+Shift+Left arrow)

Actual results:
Doesn't neatly navigates back to page 1


Expected results:
Navigates back to page 1

Additional info:
The one-line fix (https://invent.kde.org/graphics/okular/commit/585340cef5ca4dd1e26fe3baea1cf396f8de6469) will be available in 20.12 release; but not in 20.08. Upstream urges distros to backport the fix to version 20.08. Please backport.
