** Description changed: - - When scrolling using a pointing stick (at least with trackpoints on Thinkpads) Evince will continue to scroll when the window or workspace is changed. The user's place is quickly lost. + When an image or portion of text in a pdf is clicked in Evince, dragged + (as if to drag it to another application), then let go of, Evince will + continue to scroll depending on where the pointer is placed, even if the + window or workspace is changed. The user's place is quickly lost. To reproduce: - Open a multi-page pdf with Evince. - Go to some random page. - Scroll up. - Hit alt-tab quickly, switching to another program. - The page will continue to scroll. + 1.) Open a pdf with Evince. + 2.) Left click on an image or page of a if it is an image, or select some text. + 3.) With the left mouse button held down, drag it so that the "hand holding a document" icon appears. + 4.) Let go of the left mouse button. + 5.) Go to another window or desktop, and note that depending on the location of the mouse on the screen Evince, even unfocused, will scroll the pdf in that direction (e.g. up if the mouse is near the top). - Note that the page scrolls depending on where the mouse is on screen. - This continues even if the workspace is changed or the user switches to - other windows, even clicking and typing in them. The only way to stop - Evince from scrolling is to go back to Evince and click or scroll again. + The only way to stop Evince from scrolling is to go back to Evince and + click or scroll again. - This might be reproducible with a mouse and scroll button, but I don't - have one handy. I can't, however, get it to reproduce when scrolling - with keys or the touchpad. Switching windows also needs to happen - quickly, otherwise it does not occur. + I've tested this on with Evince 3.18.2 on Ubuntu 16.04. This did not + occur back in 14.04. - I've tested this on two different Thinkpads running Ubuntu 16.04 and - Evince 3.18.2. This only occurs in Evince, no other program I've ever - used. It didn't occur back in 14.04. + (Edited to include easier method of reproduction.)
