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.
