Bugs item #4325, was opened at 2011-01-10 07:45 Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: Maverick Woo (maverickwoo) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: Input lines spread across synctex file in MiKTeX-pdfTeX 2.9.3962 (1.40.11) Category: synctex Group: None Resolution: None Initial Comment: I am using MiKTeX-pdfTeX 2.9.3962 (1.40.11). On one of my larger documents, it generates a synctex file in which the "Input:" lines are spread across the file, i.e., the "Input:" lines do not form a contiguous block at the beginning of the synctex file before the "Content:" line. This breaks the synctex parser in both SumatraPDF and TeXworks. Currently I use latexmk to fix the synctex file automatically after each build. The only thing needed is to move all the "Input:" lines to the front. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jerome LAURENS (jlaurens) Date: 2011-01-11 07:29 Message: This is not a pdftex problem, this is a synctex problem. The parser breaks in that situation. As the synctex parser code is shared by both sumatrapdf and texworks, both will fail in synchronizing. This will be fixed in next version of the synctex library. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Maverick Woo (maverickwoo) Date: 2011-01-11 03:50 Message: Attached is a minimal example that yields a synctex file with an "Input:" line after the "Content:" line. I compiled it with: pdflatex -synctex=1 main ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Date: 2011-01-11 01:09 Message: please provide a test file to reproduce the problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=4325&group_id=106
