Scroll editor to page is not working but scroll pdf to cursor works fine.

[BretG137]

Description

Scroll editor to page is not working but scroll pdf to cursor works fine.

Reproduce

1. Go to '...' PDF output
2. Click on '...' right click
3. Scroll down to '...' and select "Scroll editor to page"
4. See error '...' does nothing

I searched github but found no one mention this issue. Since everything else is working, including "scroll pdf" on the latex document, I don't see how it could be a configuration issue. Also, I have tried different browsers.

Expected behavior

right clicking the pdf and selecting "scroll editor to page" should scroll the latex document to the location of the pdf file.

Context

• Operating System and version: debian 10
• Browser and version: firefox 93 and chrome 90
• JupyterLab version: 3.0.0

[Johan-Gronqvist]

I see the same symptom, and I also see an error message in the output of the terminal that started jupyterlab.

SyncTex command `synctex edit -o 6:0:0:/Workspace/PATH/TO/MY/PDF/File.pdf` errored with code: 255

When I run that command myself, I see the same error, but when I replace the first "/" by a "./", I see a presumably correct output.

My guess, only based on this, is that the command should include a relative path, but that it does not use the right form.
