typical screenshot showing user interface and screen messed up a whole bunch of places

Being able to annotate PDF files means saving paper.  But now the okular user interface, especially menu and toolbar is really messed up.  Some icons appear too big and seem to get cut off on their right or bottom.  Hovering around the menu area makes things much worse.  As it is okular can only be used for the simplistic viewing of a pdf for example.  Trying to use annotations is way too messed up to do any work with.

Steps:

1) Open any PDF file.

2a) Initially observe some UI corruption.
2b) If click on any menu item, e.g. File, then hover right menu immediately gets messed up further.


I didn't see a nightly build available to test this, so I downloaded the most recent flatpak from https://flathub.org/apps/org.kde.okular to test this.

I tried uninstalling, cleaning out any okular files, and re-installing, but this didn't fix it.

Here is another report I created awhile ago for this problem to see if anyone had any ideas of how to fix this:  
https://discuss.kde.org/t/clicking-okular-menu-bar-then-hovering-over-it-messes-the-menu-up/10284


Here is how I'm running the flatpak (with or without --version):

$ flatpak run org.kde.okular --version
Gtk-Message: 21:20:38.329: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"
Qt: Session management error: Could not open network socket
okular 23.08.4


(This bug does not appear when I run okular on my windows 11 machine, nor did it exist before I upgraded to Debian bookworm.)

Thanks for your help with this.

There's probably something missing in your setup/installation.

Would be good if we could somehow warn about it, needs someone to have time to recreate your setup and figure out what's wrong.

I thought it might help if I send you my ~/.config/** and ~/.local/** okular stuff:


~$ find .local -name '*okular*'         # <------ First find all okular named files in .local and cat them out:
.local/share/okular

~$ ls -ld .local/share/okular/
