"sorting out" doesn't happen magically all by itself, it takes action. often in response to a bug report. one of the reasons that unstable exists is so that people can test it **AND REPORT BUGS**. Reporting bugs for packages in unstable is completely normal. a snarky comment "welcome to unstable" is NOT sufficient reason to close this or any other bug. This bug report should stay open until libnih1 has actually been recompiled against libc6 2.24 and uploaded to ftp-master. or anything else that actually resolves the bug rather than ignoress it. it's not a trivial bug either - given that it breaks cgmanager (by forcing it to be uninstalled) AND everything that depends on it (including most containerisation tools), this would be a release critical bug if we were nearing freeze for stretch. craig ps: i've been holding back on upgrading libc6 in sid precisely because of this bug. After waiting over a week for the magic sorting-out fairies to perform their usual miracles, i investigated further to find out that libnih1 was the cause, then checked the BTS system to see if it had already been reported. it had. and was almost immediately closed by someone other than the maintainer for no good reason. -- craig sanders
Bug#913794: qpdfview document "focus"
Package: qpdfview
Version: 0.4.17~beta1+git20180709-2
When you Alt-Tab into qpdfview, the displayed PDF document doesn't always have
focus, and the PgUp and PgDn keys do nothing (the Home & End keys work as
normal). You have to move your hand off the keyboard and on to the mouse and
click in the document before the PgUp and PgDn keys work.
This is internal to qpdfview, not the window manager - i.e. qpdfview itself
does get focus as far as the window manager is concerned, but within qpdfview
it seems as if the Menu or Icon or Tab bar or something has focus.
This seems to happen when the PDF file is auto-refreshed after being rebuilt.
It may happen other times too, but I can't recall if I've seen that.
It is particularly noticable (and annoying) when using LaTeX or pandoc to
generate a pdf as that involves a lot of Alt-Tabbing between a terminal (for
running, e.g., vi & git & make), and qpdfview.
On a few occasions, I've even Alt-Tabbed into qpdfview and had the window's
Maximise/Minimise/Move/Resize/etc window pop up (I don't remember which
keystrokes I typed to achieve this so I can't reproduce this right now but it
has happened often enough for me to notice and remember).
NOTE: this bug is not new to this version, it's been around for some time.
I've been working with LaTeX work today, and that reminded me to submit this
bug report.
Regards,
craig
PS: I just looked at Edit->Settings in qpdfview and turned off the Synchronize
Split Views checkbox. I haven't seen this weird focus behaviour since then,
but that may just be a co-incidence.
Synced split views behave a bit weirdly anyway, depending on which of the
documents was clicked on ("selected"? "focused?") most recently, so it may be
related.
Maybe it would be better to get rid of the Synchronize option and use
PgUp/PgDn/etc to move the current document, and Shift-PgUp/Shift-PgDn/etc to
move both. or vice-versa.

I've had this weird document focus thing happen several times since I made that change. Unfortunately, the weird behaviour is not 100% consistent. It happens a lot, but not all the time. It's not random, but I haven't been able to figure out exactly what triggers it. craig -- craig sanders
