Package: evince
Version: 3.8.3-1
the menu bar has vanished in latest version of evince, replaced with a
series of inscrutable icons that you can make sense of only one at a
time with a half-second delay on each for the tooltip to appear.
my previous setting to have text-based menus rather than icons has been
removed or simply ignored. i have no problem reading english words, but
great difficulty making sense of designer hieroglyphics. there's a reason
why alphabetic scripts work better than pictographic, learning a modular
set of re-usable letters is far more efficient than rote-memorizing
thousands of slightly different pictures, especially when the pics
change due to fashion or some designer's whim every few years.
a picture may be worth 1000 words but that's because it requires 1000
words to make sense of it, when only one word is actually necessary for
a menu title.
the file menu has been replaced by some sort of circle with squiggly
bits on it, and bizarrely has been moved to the top right of the window
instead of the top left.
the document menu has also been replaced by some squarish icon with what
looks like maybe a small spanner in it. it has also been moved to the
far right of the window instead of on the left where it belongs.
