Description Pedro Villavicencio 2008-08-27 20:43:14 UTC 
this report has been filed here:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/215726

"If evince is set to non-continuous and best fit mode, it displays only one page fully. In this mode, the mouse scrollwheel has no function. Other PDF readers like Adobe's use it to browse through the pages of the document, which is very convenient if you are looking for a particular page.

Please include scrollwheel handling when in this mode."

thanks,

This is IMO very annoying behavior, I'd really like to see this fixed. As a workaround I used imwheel to map the scroll wheel to the up/down arrow keys:

1. Install "imwheel"
2. Create a file ~/.imwheelrc with the following content:
---
"^evince"
None,Down,Down
None,Up,Up
---
3. In /etc/X11/imwheel/startup.conf, change IMWHEEL_START to "1" to start imwheel automatically
