Thank you for your reply. Drag-n-Drop does sound like a likely candidate. It appears that the icon does appear in response to a left mouse button press; usually the intention is to simply scroll the document, but sometimes the cursor drifts outside the document viewer window. So synchronization/assistive mode are likely not culprits here. However, once the mouse button is pressed, the cursor drifts outside the viewer window, the icon does appear, and persists for at least a number of seconds. Is there a way to disable this behavior? Will it happen in fullscreen mode? Is there a keyboard or mouse shortcut to tell the viewer "No, not interested in dragging to a different app"? Personally I would use the command-line for such things. Forgot to mention in previous post: am using evince 3.4.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. _______________________________________________ evince-list mailing list evince-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evince-list
