A set of screenshots described in the bug description

Description of problem: Since upgrading to okular, okular-part, and okular-libs from 22.04.1-1.el9 to 22.12.13-1.el9, okular exhibits the following behaviour, which makes it totally useless.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 22.12.13-1.el9.


How reproducible: Always.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Starting from a 9.2 system with okular 22.04.1-1.el9 which is working well

2. Upgrade okular, okular-part, and okular-libs from 22.04.1-1.el9 to 22.12.13-1.el9

3. Start okular.

See the figures in the attachment:

Figures 1, 2, and 3 are screenshots from before the update (actually from after a re-downgrade); Figures 4, 5, and 6 are with 22.12.13-1.el9 . All are in the attached file figures.tar.gz .

The first in each set of three is a screenshot on first opening okular.

The second in each set of three is after opening a particular file (the same one in each case).

The third in each set of three is after hitting control-f to search for the word "setting".

In the first three okular behaves as expected.

In the second three:

In Fig4: the list of recently opened files has moved off to the bottom right; the icons at the top left are only half-shown; the icons at the top right are missing alltogether. What the screenshot cannot tell you is that, when the mouse hovers over one of the recently viewed files and clicks, it is not the file over which the mouse is that opens, but (?) the one that would have been there if the list had been in the right place (?).

In Fig5: the scrollbars are missing, the pane-separator is missing; in the left hand pane only part of the contents are rendered; the page selector apparatus is missing at top and bottom.

In Fig6: in addition to the above, instead of the Find window opening under the main text, the last line of the main text has been duplicated.

Please let me know if you need any more information to debug this. 

Additional info: On re-downgrading behaviour returns to normal; on re-upgrading it returns to this useless behaviour.

Comment 1 Roger Sewell 2023-11-29 10:36:21 UTC
With apologies: I've just realised rather belatedly that the version number I gave for okular, okular-part, and okular-libs was wrong: it should have been 22.12.3-1.el9, which still appears to be the current version in the repos.

Comment 2 Roger Sewell 2023-12-04 20:22:24 UTC
Just to say that I've just updated the system to 9.3 overall, and still okular 22.12.3-1.el9 gives a totally messed up screen.

Please would somebody confirm that I've reported this in the right place, and that it shouldn't now e.g. be on JIRA, or reported to some upstream organisaion ?

Thanks,
Roger.
