Description Mario Manno 2006-09-18 23:34:42 UTC
Please describe the problem:
The 'Open' menu entry does nothing if a file of the same path/name is already open.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a pdf document in evince. 
2. Modify/replace the pdf without changing its name
3. Select File/Open from the menu and select the new file.


Actual results:
The document will not be reloaded.

Expected results:
I would expect evince to re-open the document. The same is true for the dbus method OpenURI, i would expect it to reload an already opened file.

Does this happen every time?
