Bug ID: 506827
Summary: When launched with different DISPLAY or
WAYLAND_DISPLAY than an existing process, should open
a new instance
Classification: Applications
Product: okular
Version First 25.04.2
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org
Reporter: sergio.calleg...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When okular is launched for a document and an existing instance is running,
there is the option to open a new tab on the existing instance, rather than
launching a new instance.
However, if okular is launched with different DISPLAY or WAYLAND_DISPLAY
environment variables with respect to the existing instance, it seems logical
that the user *needs* to open a new instance.
The problem is particularly evident when using waypipe. Because of this the
reproduction case will be based on a waypipe scenario, involving two hosts, A
and B
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start a KDE session on B, login and open okular to display some document.
Ensure that it is configured to open new files in tabs
2. start a session on A, connect to B with waypipe (e.g. waypipe ssh B)
3. from the waypipe session on A, open okular to display some document.
OBSERVED RESULT
A new tab opens on the okular instance running on B
EXPECTED RESULT
A new instance displayed on A via waypipe
