Can you confirm the Okular version you're using?
(In reply to Albert Astals Cid from comment #3) > Can you confirm the Okular version you're using? Yes, I'm using Okular version 20.12.3
Works fine for me in 21.08.3 https://i.imgur.com/fsPpRUC.png Please reopen if you update to that version and you can still reproduce the problem.
It does work on 21.08.3 also on my side ! I was on Ubuntu 20.04. I had to upgrade my Ubuntu to 21.04, and then 21.10. But even then, ubuntu software was only proposing Okular version 20.12.3. Therefore, I downloaded Okular version 21.08.3, using flatpack. https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.kde.okular Thank you !
