Evince doesn't save settings correctly
Last modified: 2018-05-22 14:39:00 UTC
When using the option to save the current settings as default (Edit -> Save current settings as default) at 100% document size, Evince saves the wrong size % (somewhere around 80%). Expeced behaviour: Open all documents at 100% size. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: evince 3.4.0-0ubuntu1.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-26.41-generic 3.2.19 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-26-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Jul 11 17:59:32 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta amd64 (20120301) ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: evince UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)

I'm getting something close to this. I open a pdf file (500 pages) with index in the left panel. I choose "adapt to the width" (Ajuster à la largeur de la page in french). I tried ctrl+t or click on the "remember current settings menu item" (Se souvenir des réglages actuels in french). But when i click in the index to go to another chapter of my document. The size is still in Ideal size (Taille idéale in french). It's a way to say to evince to keep the adapt to the width for the whole document ?
Renaud, I guess the PDF links have the Fit destination, which forces us to do what you describe. We are discussing, in another bug (which I don't remember its number right now), how to override this.
Renaud, Please check the comments in the duplicated bug I am pointing out. It seems to be the same. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 684005 ***
Oops, I misread Renaud comment as the report. Re-opening this bug.
I think the problem in this particular bug is that evince always open a new document to the same window size: 600x600. See: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617547#c3
I can confirm this behavior in version 3.8.3. I previously changed my default settings to "Fit Page". When I open a new document I get the entire first page as expected. If I scroll up or down with the mouse the page size remains constant. If, however I jump to a different page using the left index or right scroll bar, the page size changes back to "Best Fit". This requires constant correcting. I don't remember this behaviour in the previous release. BTW, I'm using the released version of Evince in Fedora 19 running Xfce.
