SUMMARY The "Open in continuous mode by default" option and the "Show scrollbars" option are no longer correctly applied on startup. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. In Okular settings -> General -> Appearance, check "Show scrollbars". 2. Scroll down to the "Program features" section and check "Open in continuous mode by default". 3. Close Okular 4. Open a PDF that hasn't been opened before OBSERVED RESULT The scrollbar is not visible, and continuous mode is not active despite "View mode" (in the main toolbar) -> "Continuous" being checked. EXPECTED RESULT The scrollbar should be visible, and continuous mode active as well as "View mode" -> "Continuous" being checked. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux kernel 6.12.4 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0 Qt Version: 6.8.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This seems to be a regression in Okular 24.12.0 - I seem to remember this working last week, but I'm not 100% sure.
Oh, a slight amendment - for the "OBSERVED RESULT" section, "View mode" -> "Continuous" is NOT checked. The problem goes away if I check this, but doing that for every PDF is frustrating. This also doesn't seem to happen for all documents. I can upload an example if you want. It also seems to correspond to a small "Welcome" box appearing in the top left of the view but again I'm not sure if this is 100% of the time.
This is probably use obeying what the document says should be its opening mode. Yes upload a document please.

This bug only affects PDF documents opened in Okular for the first time (not previously opened with Okular): even if the "Open in continuous mode by default" option is checked, a new document opens in non-continuous mode.
