Public bug reported: I open a PDF document in evince, e.g. s atlas_install.pdf (I have the alias s='evince' in my .bashrc .) I have also firefox running. I switch between the applications using Ctrl Tab or using the mouse. Steps to reproduce the bug:
1.) I have firefox on the foreground and the evince window with the PDF document on the background. Also the Gnome terminal (on the backgroud). The document was prepared using latex (pdflatex I guess). 2.) I go on the document (so it gets on the foreground). I perhaps scroll through its pages. Then I go on firefox, then click at the terminal, then on the document again and scroll through its pages. 3.) Finally I look at the terminal. It is messed by warnings like: (evince:3378): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_menu_button_get_popup: assertion 'GTK_IS_MENU_BUTTON (menu_button)' failed (evince:3378): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_visible: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed It is very annoying. Sometime the messages pops up with some delay and they interrupt commands which I am typing. Of course, the messages make it more difficult for me to read output from programs which I run on the command line (e.g. configure, make, etc). Please note: developers perhaps think that people open documents using a mouse click on the document so that they do not see the messages. It is only partially true: lots of people open documents using the command line because it is simply much faster and much more efficient for them.
