A LaTeX source file with intentional error to create a long-standing
auto-reload state
SUMMARY
If you open a new PDF file with Okular, while an existing PDF file is being
auto-reloaded, then the new file will replace the existing one, instead of
being opened in a new window.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. Make sure you have a working TeX distribution, download the sample LaTeX
source file, and prepare another arbitrary PDF file
1. Compile the source with `pdflatex error.tex`, and you will get an
intentional error
2. Press Enter, so the compilation process will go ahead
3. Open the generated "error.pdf" file with Okular
4. Compile the source again; do not press enter this time, so the compilation
process will get stuck
5. Now the "error.pdf" file is in an auto-reload state
6. Open the new PDF file with Okular
OBSERVED RESULT
The new file replaces "error.pdf"
EXPECTED RESULT
The new file should be opened in a new window

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
