Bug Description

Hello,

Just started using qpdview and I'm very happy with it. There is one issue that has been troubling me, though. I was a Acrobat Reader user and I always preferred single page mode to continuous mode. In Acrobat Reader, when I do a page down near the end of the page, it stops at the end of the page, but qpdfvew just jumps to next page. Any plans to change this behavior?

Thank you.

Hello,

thank you for reporting this issue! Whether the functionality is intended to be changed depends, as there actually was a bug in here: The view is supposed to go to the bottom of the page using the page down key, and only if it already is at the bottom, the page down key should go to next page. The problem was introduced when changing the handling of custom keyboard commands (for e.g. movement of the view) and I just pushed a fix to trunk revision 1429 (which will also be part of release version 0.4.8).

Could you be specific about the version you use and try the daily debs/rpms or building from source to determine whether the behaviour is useful after all?

Best regards, Adam.

Hello again,

so I'll change the report title and set it to fix committed. Thanks again for reporting. Do you think you could try out the latest version from trunk to verify that it is indeed fixed?
