GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 165469
Initial focus is wrong
Last modified: 2005-08-27 22:33:59 UTC
When Evince starts with a document (e.g. "evince foo.pdf"), the document area does not get the focus. This makes it impossible to hit PgDn or other keys without clicking on the document area first.
This should be fixed in CVS HEAD. feel free to reopen if incorrect.
I'm not sure if the bug is fixed correctly. The focus style of my window manager is "follow mouse" and if I start evince e.g. from an xterm evince grabs the focus even if the mouse pointer is not over the evince window. This is very annoying and maybe not HIG conform but I'm not sure.
This is unrelated to the original problem. I'm going to close this bug. You could open a separate one providing more details (wm, evince version...). It would be nice if you could verify it's not a bug with your wm before though...
