Package: mozilla-bonobo
Version: 0.4.1-2
Severity: important
Hi,
in mozilla and galeon, when I click on any PDF file the first page of
the document is correctly displayed by mozilla-bonobo. Unfortunately
I cannot view any other pages. I cannot zoom the display either.
Needless to say most documents are therefore unreadable. This bug
would even deserve a "grave" severity since it breaks PDF viewing in
other packages that work fine when mozilla-bonobo is not installed.
In the mean time before this bug is fixed, you could perhaps add a
warning in the package description. For instance
/usr/share/doc/mozilla-bonobo/README contains this warning:

Hi everyone,
This isn't a bug as Chris has already explained, hence I'm closing it.
Perhaps some user-unfriendliness due to mozilla-bonobo not yet being
able to integrate Bonobo menu/toolbar controls; but this problem
certainly does not intefere with the operation of any other independent
programs or packages.=20
Cheers,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau
