Package: pdf-presenter-console
Version: 4.0.5-1
Severity: normal
Hello!
I think I found a bug in pdfpc.
When I display a PDF file in single screen mode with
$ pdfpc -Ss foo.pdf
the program should run in fullscreen mode.
Indeed it does.
Almost... :-(
What happens (at least with my Fluxbox desktop) is that the PDF page
is rendered at the correct resolution (so that it is able to fill
the screen letterbox-style and to keep the correct aspect ratio).
Unfortunately not all the window decorations are dropped: the window
title bar is still visible at the top of the screen. As a consequence,
a tiny horizontal band at the bottom of the PDF page is hidden below
the visible screen area (and thus cut out and not shown).
I hope I expressed the issue clearly enough.
I haven't found any method to work around this issue.
On the other hand, when I display the PDF file in dual screen mode [1]
with
$ pdfpc foo.pdf
the program runs in fullscreen mode, but only after a trick has been
performed.
What happens (again with my Fluxbox desktop) is that the window title
bar is again visible at the top of each screen. However, if I move the
mouse to the bottom-right corner of the presenter screen (near the
slide-number-/-total-number-of-slides counter), the title bars go
away and I finally have a real fullscreen experience on both screens!
I am under the impression that this is *not* intentional.
Or anyway, if it is indeed intentional, I think there should be a way
to disable this awkward behavior and immediately get a real fullscreen
experience. I could even argue that the real fullscreen experience
should be the default one...
Could you please fix this bug and/or forward my bug report upstream?
Thanks a lot for your time!
Bye.
