Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
PROBLEM: when viewing a PDF file with associated external content, such
as a movie, evince will launch the external helper application when in
normal or full screen mode, but will not do so in presentation mode.
When in normal or full screen mode, the mouse pointer changes from an
arrow to a finger, and the tooltip "launch ......" will appear. When in
presentation mode, the mouse pointer never changes shape, and clicking
on the embedded link merely causes the presentation to advance to the
next page.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: evince should launch the external application in
presentation mode, the same way it does in the normal and full screen
modes.
TO REPRODUCE: Download attachment. Unpack in separate folder. Open
test.pdf with evince. Clicking on the image on page 2 will launch the
movie storm.mov in normal and full screen modes. It will fail to do so
in presentation mode.
