GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 583552
Rotated document selection
Last modified: 2018-05-22 13:32:25 UTC
if you have a document with vertical text (see the one attached) and try to select text, something really strange happens (I cannot describe it, so you have to try)
Created attachment 135171 [details] vertical.pdf
sorry, rename the file "a" to "a.pdf"
Y, we have this issue for a long time, it would be nice to resolve it one day.
Created attachment 143411 [details] [review] Fix Bug #583552. Remarks the thumbnail of the current page after rotation. Hi, I think this patch must resolve it. Sorry, I have some problems on my system I haven't compiled with Evince trunk, but I think it should. The only change is the function refresh() -via g_idle_add - for the page_changed_cb(), in order to remark the thumbnail of the current page. AFAIK it works. The function ev_sidebar_thumbnails_rotation_changed_cb() must be placed after page_changed_cb(), so I put at the EOF.
Well, it should be better if I test the compilation and behaviour of this patch before ;) I hope to this pretty soon, maybe this afternor or this weekend.
Juanjo, this bug is about selecting text when the document is rotated, it has nothing to do with thumbnails. But it seems you have found another issue, the current thumbnail selection is lost when document is rotated, is that what your patch fixes?
Ups... Sorry, you're totally right. Yes, this patch is about the issue of the current thumbnail selection is lost when document is rotated, So, I'm going to open another bug....
