Thanks a lot, I can confirm the bug is gone in recent emacs.

I don't know why, but I updated recently my .emacs file (which may
downloaded a recent version of auctex), and since then I can't open
documentation anymore. Indeed, if I do `C-c ? tikz <RET>` then okular
starts, but is killed before opening the document. I tried with an empty
configuration (emacs -Q) in a new home, and I even tried it on a
completely empty (and new) user.

Any idea what's going wrong? The only idea I have is that maybe emacs
kills for some reason the okular process, but no idea why...

It may be related to my commit in 2018:
commit c8a8d475d5a5c826c02313937e2bf09cca3fe057

Don't block emacs during viewing document

* tex.el (TeX-documentation-texdoc): Use asynchronous proces not to
block emacs during viewing document.
Supply "%s" to `message' argument in case the shell output contains
accidental %-sequence.


This commit is intended for evince but it might harm okular in some way.
Could you see whether your okular wokrs if you revert the above change?

It seems that it was indeed the case[1]. I hope I have now fixed the
issue, so I close this bug. Please try the next ELPA release. If that
doesn't resolve your problem, feel free to reopen this bug.

Ikumi Keita
