Description Angel Abad 2010-03-02 09:04:31 UTC 
From Ubuntu Karmic Alexey Kotlyarov reported:

When Evince crashes, it tries to re-open the documents open prior to crash. However, if they were in fact PDF forms, the data entered in them is not restored. Ideally, all the data entered should be restored, or at least the prompt must indicate something less assuring, such as "Reopen documents" and not "Restore".

How to reproduce:
1. Open a PDF form in Evince, enter some data.
2. killall -9 evince
3. Open Evince again.
4. Choose "Restore".

Expected results:
The entered form data is restored.

Actual results:
The form is opened, but the data fields are blank.

Package: evince 2.28.1-0ubuntu1.2

Thanks!
