with `\lv`, okular opens but focus doesn't switch.

[zoome0215]

Description

Hi, I am using the latest version of vimtex okular 23.08.5 on ubuntu 24.04. on VIM - Vi IMproved 9.1 (2024 Jan 02, compiled Aug 27 2024 04:08:09)

I recently upgraded my OS from 22.04 to 24.04, and now it seems that \lv no longer switches between the workspaces in Ubuntu.

so first time I use \lv opens the relevant part of the output pdf in okular. then I move the okular window to some other workspace. In the previous version of Ubuntu, when I then press \lv, it automatically switches the focus to the workspace where okular is, and displays the relevant place of the pdf. However, in 24.04, this is nolonger the feature.

Does anyone have similar problem or found a workaround on this?

VimtexInfo shows that I have Ubuntu 22.04, so may be that's contributing to something...

The relevant part of the ~/.vimrc is following/

let g:localvimrc_ask = 0

let g:vimtex_view_general_viewer = 'okular'
let g:vimtex_view_general_options = '--unique file:@pdf\#src:@line@tex'
let g:vimtex_view_automatic = 0
let g:vimtex_quickfix_autoclose_after_keystrokes = 1 
" let g:vimtex_view_general_options_latexmk = '--noraise --unique'
let g:vimtex_fold_bib_enabled = 0
let g:vimtex_enable_fold = 0
let g:vimtex_fold_manual = 1
let g:vimtex_compiler_latexmk = { 'continuous' : 0, 
        \ 'options' : [
        \   '-verbose',
        \   '-file-line-error',
        \   '--shell-escape',
        \   '-synctex=1',
        \   '-interaction=nonstopmode',
        \ ],
         \}

Steps to reproduce

1. Open your .tex file.
2. compile with \ll
3. view with \lv (for the first time, okular should pop up in front of you
4. move okular to other workspace
5. go back to vim, and hit \lv at different place in file.

Expected behavior

Workspace should switch to where the okular is, and okular should display the relevant part of PDF file.

Actual behavior

Workspace does not change, so display is focused on vim, while if I manually go to the workspace with okular, okular do display the relevant part of the PDF.

Do you use a latexmkrc file?

No
