Description Sergio 2018-03-28 18:41:54 UTC
When used from emacs on LaTeX documents, okular crashes rather often with a segmentation fault.

Specifically:

- When producing the PDF through lualatex that takes a fairly longer time than pdflatex or xelatex to produce the PDF, okular crashes very frequently while the new PDF is being produced.

- When producing the PDF through lualatex with the -synctex option, okular systematically crashes on opening some files with the --unique file.pdf#src:1/path/./file.tex idiom

Can you provide a backtrace?

Read https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports if you do not understand what backtrace means or how to get one

To Albert, Christoph,

I need to apologize, but I am overworked and I will be so for at least some more 15 days, with little possibility of testing. I opened the bug with the hope to create a place so that others who could be experiencing my issue could comment and provide further details.

I'll try to get the backtrace and a test case when deadlines relax a bit.

Sergio, please don't let work burn you out.

KDE developers are still interested in investigating this issue.
