Package: xpdf-reader
Version: 3.00-13
Followup-For: Bug #283056

Because upstream maintainer said he didn't see the original problem when
xpdf is linked against openmotif, i dipped into non-free and tried to do
just that.  I am sorry to say it's just as broken.  I _can_ get focus
to the document, that's true, but then I can't get back to the TOC.

Let me be more explicit.  An GUI application with a split window of
2 panes which are somehow interdependent is only usable to those
with strong preference for keyboard interaction if there's a _quick_
(preferably 1 key) shortcut to switch focus from one pane to the other.

In the latest Acrobat Reader versions (which are gtk2.x apps, and work
very well, for a change), the F6 key does just that.  Why can't xpdf
just do the same?  If it's impossible with motif then motif is broken
and another toolkit should be used.
