Mupdf-gl doesn't seem to react to keyboard events

mupdf-gl seems to run with warnings such as-

warning: This version of MuPDF has been built WITHOUT clipboard or unicode input support!
warning: Please file a complaint with your friendly local distribution manager.
Xlib: sequence lost (0x10000 > 0x59) in reply type 0x7!

It doesn’t respond to any key presses such as f for full page etc.
When I click on an annotation an editor pops up and I can change dropdowns, click buttons etc but if I try to enter text nothing happens.

Does anyone use this successfully?
Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be an how to fix?
thanks
Donald

Maybe this bug report is similar:

But it’s from 2018.

This sounds like it could be a reason.
But I can’t see, from the PKGBUILD used to make this package, how this was done, how the unicode support was excluded from the build.

… there is the"normal" package: mupdf
which might be the alternative

I tried both but they seem quite different.
mupdf recognises some keypresses but doesn’t seem to show any details for annotations, doesn’t bring up a file selection window if run without pdf filename …
thanks anyway
