[Tex/LaTex] Texmaker “click to jump to the line” does not always update in PDF viewer

pdftextexmaker

I use Texmaker to edit my tex documents and I have the PDF viewer embedded in the editor, so I can edit the .tex files in the left and see the PDF result in the right. For big documents, a quite common Texmaker feature I use is "click to jump to the line" [Ctrl+click], that allows me to click somewhere in the PDF and it will direct to the specific line in the .tex file.

However, from time to time, this feature doesn't get updated with the PDF and redirects me to different (not far) parts of the document. I haven't been able to isolate the reason if it happening. I was wondering if this is just a bug or if there is an specific reason for this to happen (e.g. corrupt aux file?).

I am running Texmaker 4.2 (compiled with Qt 5.2.1 and Poppler 0.22.5) in a Windows 8 x64 machine.

I had the same problem with version 4.#.# in Windows 10, however after an upgrade to version 5.0.2, it works perfectly.
