Description Sergei Ivanov 2012-08-03 23:16:22 UTC 
When okular is started with "--unique" and an instance is already running, its window is not raised. I was hit by this problem when I tried to use okular as an external PDF viewer in kile.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In a terminal, run 'okular --unique somefile.pdf &'
2. Make sure the okular window overlaps with the terminal one.
3. Raise the terminal window (or any other that overlaps with okular's).
4. Run 'okular --unique somefile.pdf &' again

Actual Results:  
On the second run, the existing okular window gets redrawn but is not raised. It stays below the  terminal window. This happens even when 'Focus stealing prevention level' in kwin configuration is set to 'None'.


Expected Results:  
The window should be raised. Every other program with 'one window' functionality does this.

Okular always had this problem (in KDE3 days too). I did not report it back then just because I had no use for the "--unique" option until recently.
