When I display a pdf inside firefox with this xpdf plugin,
attempting to select text inside the pdf freezes firefox
apparently, I can also not unselect the firefox window, it's
like my cursor is eaten.
The only way to get out is to switch to tty and manually kill xpdf which makes firefox usable again (but also shuts down the pdf viewer). firefox 33.0.2-1 xpdf 3.04-2 |
This task depends upon

Sounds like a problem with the plugin, where is it from?
I just built xpdf from the AUR, it doesn't even contain a mozilla
plugin. Even if it did, this doesn't seem to be an issue with a
supported package. Any reason to keep this open?
Ok, it seemed like firefox managed to open xpdf inside itself and
display the pdf through it (altough I told to use MozPlugger based
plugin). I had totally forgotten that xpdf is in AUR, sorry for
that...
