Since version 3.02 (if I remember correct) xpdf promises in it's man page: If the PDF contains an outline (a.k.a., bookmarks), there will be an outline pane on the left side of the window. But this never worked for me. xpdf _always_ shows the outline pane even when I simply execute "xpdf" without opening any pdf file. Then I tried to define a key-shortcut to toggle the outline pane by adding bind ctrl-o any toggleOutline to my ~/.xpdfrc file. But this seems broken, too. Now when I start "xpdf" (no file supplied) and then press ctrl-o to close the outline pane it extends the outline pane to the full width of the xpdf window. When I call "xpdf <some-pdf-file>" and then press ctrl-o it closes the outline pane, then opens it again, repeats this about two times and finally also ends with the outline pane extended to the full width of the xpdf window. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Expected Results: xpdf shouldn't open the outline pane if there are no outlines in the document. emerge -pv poppler xpdf These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Can't tell what exactly fixed it but after the recent changes to the desktop profile (see 2010-03-23-new-subprofiles news item) and some "emerge -DuN world" (which included rebuilding app-text/poppler-0.12.3-r3) the outline pane works correct and also binding toggleOutline to ctrl-o in my ~/.xpdfrc file. And I also switched from gcc-4.1.2 to 4.3.4 before the poppler rebuild. So I close this bug as fixed.
