Upgraded to 12:04 now can't get inverse search to work (from Okular to Kile) My settings: in Kile I have: Tools -> Mode -> Normal

in Okular I have: Settings-> Configure->Editor (and set Editor to Kile)

In Kile I have tried the buttons: PDFLatex and then ForwardPDF and also: Latex and then ForwardPDF.

both bring up PDF in Okular, but SHIFT/leftClick does not do an inverse search.

A bug in Kile? in Okular? in 12.04? in me?

I'm using a System76 Pangolin P8. Thanks for any help

First of all, check if you configuration is like the following:

http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-office/kile/quick_inverse.html

If yes, look at what happened to me: I had the same problem of inverse search not working.

The answer can't be simpler. Be sure select Browse tool in Okular, not Zoom or anything else.

That's it!

I lost 2 hours trying to find that solution.

Try selecting the "Modern" configuration for PDFLatex in Preferences -> Tools -> Build. This ensures the required synctex information is included in the PDF files, so Okular knows how to map locations in the PDF to locations in the source.
