Package: xpdf-reader
Version: 3.01-1
Followup-For: Bug #327572

Dear Hamish Moffatt,

I think you misunderstood the bug report by Mahesh T. Pai.

When xpdf starts, its window has a certain size (say 600x800 px). The
content of the document is shown in this size too. When you maximize the
window (say to 1600x1200), the document is still shown in the original
600x800 rectangle, and the extra space is grayed out.

Now when you zoom the document (for example, by pressing 'w' or
shift-'+'), the displayed document enlarges, but it remains cropped to
the 600x800 region. (As Mahesh T. Pai indicated, the scrollbars adapt
correctly and allow you to see the whole document.) It is not the case
(as you understood it) that we zoom the document first and then desire
the window to adapt, it is the other way around.

So this is indeed a very important, even critical bug, as it renders the
xpdf viewer practically unusable.
