Thanks for trying it out.

The problem with the movement keys comes from the fact that the
annotation/form field widgets are not top-level pop-ups any more, but
part of the graphics scene and hence keyboard event need to be
propagated down to them by the document view which however wants to
react to the movement keys itself. So as a fix, I disabled those page
jumping movements when any overlay is active...

Ok, that two votes for merging including myself. Let's wait if any one
else has something to say.

Best regards, Adam.
