What's the different between a bug and a missing feature? Honestly this is probably easy to fix, but given your attitude (I guess your software never has bugs nor missing features) I don't feel very inclined to spend much time having a look at fixing it. > What's the different between a bug and a missing feature? I know the difference. As I wrote, I looked in the Okular settings and could not find anything regarding JavaScript. I googled and read that Okular can execute JavaScript in PDF forms, therefore I reported it as bug not as enhancement. Meanwhile you sent ma a YouTube link showing that it works in same cases but as it doesn't work for my case I think bug was the correct report. However, you cannot expect from new users to make the right decision in reporting things. > Honestly this is probably easy to fix, but given your attitude (I guess your software never has bugs nor missing features) I don't feel very inclined to spend much time having a look at fixing it. I wonder that you the bug reports personally. I don't know you and you don't know me. I was just trying out Okular and reported all things I found so far. It makes me sad that your personal preference if you like a bug reporter or not is involved in the decision to fix a bug or not. I think what I reported affects many users out there so it should be in general worth it to fix it, independent that I reported the issue at first. Was this fully resolved with https://cgit.kde.org/okular.git/commit/?id=cead2bbef3c2878dfb42173f9885e8ab8a23cd86 and https://cgit.kde.org/okular.git/commit/?id=d3a549ca258e04058fa04d2993e2926e7136f390, or only partially? If the latter, what still needs to be done? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #3) > Was this fully resolved with... I just checked with Okular 18.04 and the problem persists. See my initial comment to reproduce the bug. The pus button executes JavaScript but the button is not clickable in Okular 18.04. On Adobe Reader i can click the button and the JavaScript is executed. Thank you for confirming. Looks like there are some more Javascript use cases that we need to work on. The situation is now (Okular 1.11) better. Clicking the second push button in sec. 2.4 of the example PDF (attachment 106922 [details]), the JavaScript code is executed.
So I think the bug can be marked as fixed.
