Package: flowblade

Installing flowblade in bullseye from the repositories yields a user
interface in which the keyboard shortcuts don't work. As these shortcuts
are rather essential to an efficient flowblade workflow, this bug renders
flowblade prohibitively inefficient.
The same bug has been reported upstream against the same flowblade version
in January:
https://github.com/jliljebl/flowblade/issues/984
At the time, the developer dismissed it as a problem with GTK 3.24 :
https://github.com/jliljebl/flowblade/issues/984#issuecomment-770203957-permalink
However, on my systems (running bullseye), the issue was resolved by
installing the (deb package) version 2.8.0.2-1 that is recommended by the
developer (at the time of writing):
https://github.com/jliljebl/flowblade/releases/download/v2.8.0.2/flowblade-2.8.0.2-1_all.deb
Also unaffected is the (slightly newer) version 2.8.0.3-3 in the testing
(bookworm) repository.
This leads me to speculate that the developer eventually concluded that
the alleged GTK issue wasn't going away and implemented a workaroud/fix in
flowblade 2.8 .
Detail: I triggered this bug in mate-desktop-environment . However, the
upstream report suggests that the bug will occur in other (GTK-based?)
desktop environments as well:
