@Howard,

Thank you for your comment and for sharing your experience with Okular!

I understand how frustrating GUI issues can be. I haven’t encountered such problems with Okular recently. It’s working smoothly for me on Fedora 40 or Ubuntu 24.04. However, I’ll take a closer look at the discussion you linked to and see if there are any workarounds or updates that might help resolve the issue on Debian.

In the meantime, you might want to try updating Okular to the latest version or using a Flatpak or AppImage version, as those sometimes bypass distro-specific issues.

Let me know if you find a solution, and I’ll be happy to include it in the article for others who might face the same issue.

Thanks for the article!

Okular on Linux used to work pretty well for me, but for the past few years, the GUI has been all messed up, and I can’t use it.

See: https://discuss.kde.org/t/clicking-okular-menu-bar-then-hovering-over-it-messes-the-menu-up/10284

Does it work properly for you? If so, which distro are you using?

By the way, it works correctly on Windows, but not on Debian.

Thanks,
-H
