Zathura synctex inverse search not working

[amanjitsk]

Description

Basically, I don't have inverse search working in Zathura (version 0.5.2 with mupdf backend).

I am honestly quite stumped, and I swear this feature used to work, and broke down somewhere along the many updates etc. I also have coc-vimtex installed but don't think it has anything to do with this.

Here is the relevant config in my vimrc:

let g:tex_flavor = "latex"
let g:vimtex_view_method = 'zathura'
let g:vimtex_view_forward_search_on_start = 0
let g:vimtex_compiler_method = 'latexmk'
let g:vimtex_quickfix_open_on_warning = 0

let g:vimtex_imaps_enabled = 1
let g:vimtex_imaps_leader = ';'
let g:vimtex_compiler_latexmk = {                
    \ 'backend' : 'nvim',
    \ 'background' : 1,                          
    \ 'build_dir' : '',                          
    \ 'callback' : 1,                            
    \ 'continuous' : 1,                          
    \ 'executable' : 'latexmk',                  
    \ 'hooks' : [],                              
    \ 'options' : [                              
    \   '-verbose',                              
    \   '-emulate-aux-dir',
    \   '-f',
    \   '-file-line-error',                      
    \   '-synctex=1',                            
    \   '-interaction=nonstopmode',              
    \ ],                                         
    \}

My latexmkrc contains the following:

$pdf_mode = 1;
$clean_ext = 'bbl synctex.gz';

I also tried looking through similar issues, but didn't find anything that worked. Am I missing a setting or a very silly thing somewhere in my config? I suppose I am under the impression that synctex should just work out of the box. I have also checked that Zathura is installed (and linked) to libsynctex which is responsible for synctex integration, and of course, forward search works without any issues.

I haven't uploaded the minimal vimrc yet, but I will gladly do if nothing seems immediately off with my current setup.
