SUMMARY
I recently switched from Debian 11 to Debian 12, and this is one of the quirks.
I open pdf files from my file browser constantly for work, and now I have to
alt+tab to select the Okular window after double clicking a file to open. When
I'm using two screens this is really frustrating, because I'll open a file,
glance, and close the tab with ctrl+W but my file browser closes, because the
Okular window didn't become the active window like it normally does. I can't
find any settings to change, nor any web searches that address this. It might
be a Nautilus issue, but when I open other files such as a text file, my text
editor window automatically comes up front and is the active window. Same for
other files types. And if I right click a pdf and open with Document Viewer or
Google Chrome, those applications become active and come to the front of all my
windows. It's just Okular that seems to have this problem.
