Hello,
after talking to the upstream developer (who reads us in Cc) and being
asked to find the regression point with git-bisect, I managed to
pinpoint the
[upstream 
commit](https://github.com/pdfpc/pdfpc/commit/430d38e06cea152e74d26b9bc5fe6aa3a5f86169)
that introduced the regression.

Moreover, I found out the single line change that introduced the
regression.
The attached patch eliminates the regression for me.

I have already informed Andreas about this finding.

I am not sure I understand the precise effects of reverting this single
line change (perhaps some capability related to notes could be lost).
I hope Andreas may prepare a proper fix with no collateral damage.

In the meanwhile, I suggest to apply the simple patch to the Debian
package in order to close this bug report.

Thanks for your time.
