Bug description
Have checked Menu and Toolbar with View Menu. Side Pane is also checked.
Many PDFs open (via double clicking in Caja) without the Menu and Toolbar even with these options enabled.
A few PDFs do open (via double clicking in Caja) with the Menu and Toolbar.
Coin Battery Holder-BH1000G-datasheet.pdf
ENG_CD_1623849_BA.pdf
The Coin Battery Holder does not open with Menu and Toolbar, even when using "Alt" to get the Menu, View shows Menu and Toolbar checked.
The [ENG_CD_1623849_BA.pdf does show both Menu and Toolbar.
Both files are opened via Caja double click.
Steps to reproduce
Double clicking from Caja on a PDF file.
Expected behavior
Xreader to display ALL PDFs with a Menu and Toolbar.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by opening the two linked PDFs through Caja in Xreader, with Menu, Toolbar, and Side Pane enabled under View. Compare the document-opening paths and preference handling for files that show versus hide the controls. Done means all PDFs opened this way retain the enabled Menu and Toolbar preferences.
