Description thekswenson 2014-10-28 22:32:58 UTC
1. open a PDF

2. open the find functionality (<ctrl>-f).

3. type a common word like "the".

4. click on one of the matches on the left.

5. move to another page with "the" on it.

6. click the "find next" button (or <ctrl-g>).

EXPECTED:
   one of the "the"s on the current page is highlighted.

ACTUAL:
   the next the on the original page is highlighted.

COMMENTARY:
The problem is that I often use the find so that all the occurrences of a word are highlighted.  I find a particular occurrence and then scroll while looking at the context.   There is no quick and easy way to know which match I am currently looking at.

I don't this this is a duplicate since it occurs when I'm in continuous mode.
Comment 3 Germán Poo-Caamaño 2014-11-19 08:58:39 UTC
Then it might be a duplicated of the previous that was fixed for 3.12 or 3.14.

Feel free to change the status if you can reproduce the issue with a newer version of Evince.

Possibly related to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710778

Anyhow, bugs on this issues have been fixed since 3.10.
Comment 5 thekswenson 2014-11-19 09:08:53 UTC
Yes.  This is fixed in 13.14.1 .
