Upstream bug was marked as a duplicate of #640441 which was closed as the problem was transferred to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/issues/200 That report was closed 2018/05/28 as bug was no longer reproducible.

I know I shouldn't recommend this, but one can manually install the most recent evince version from natty (2.32.0-0ubuntu12.2) in maverick (get it here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+package/evince). Based on this dirty workaround, I can confirm that this issue does not appear anymore.

[Bug 664448] Re: Evince steals focus when automatically reloading the document
I'm having the problem while running Natty, so I'm not sure about it being fixed in the Natty package. In particular, it steals focus if compiz focus stealing prevention is disabled, or if it's on a different X screen then compiz focus stealing protection must be at 'very high' or else it will steal focus. The problem with re-opening on the first page of the document appears to be fixed now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/664448 Title: Evince steals focus when automatically reloading the document To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evince/+bug/664448/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Indeed, I have to revoke my fix-confirmation. I didn't experience the focus stealing in the first hour after the update but then it occurred again. Now Evince sometime steals the focus and sometimes it politely stays in the background.

For the time being, I am using Okular to view my LaTeX files. It also auto-reloads a file when the pdf is changed, but it doesn't steal focus. It also stays at the same position you were viewing the file at previously when it reloads (i.e. doesn't jump to the start of the document on each reload). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/664448 Title: Evince steals focus when automatically reloading the document To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evince/+bug/664448/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

For me this issue seems to be fixed (Ubuntu 11.04), i.e. evince does auto-reload but it does not grab focus and the position within the document does not change.

Any feedback on this issue?

[Bug 664448] Re: Evince steals focus when automatically reloading the document
I have a very similar use case. Rather than a preference to disable auto-reload, I would like a preference to disable focus-stealing when the document change. I would even be happy if this was only accessible via gconf-editor. For the record, I can't imagine any scenario where this focus-stealing is really useful.
