the zoom settings change which clicked on different pages from the bookmark

Created attachment 202519 [details] screenshots showing the problem Once the document is open and am browsing it, the zoom that i keep is 'fit width' but as soon as i click on the index(on the left pane of the window) to jump to another page, the zoom setting changes to 'best fit'. There is no problem when it comes to scrolling page after page. I would like the zoom settings to remain as i choose previously. Sometimes i may have move the horizontal slide bar to fit the zoom to my window. I also need to go back and forth to different pages in the same document. So it is very inconvenient to change settings every time.
This is very frustrating on an otherwise wonderful software. The zoom settings should remain as what the user set it to be. If not, it should default to fit width, that is what most users prefer and use anyway. Please correct this bug as it seriously affects the work flow.
TL;DR: the document was created to set the magnification. Check the explanation in the comment 8: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=684005#c8 You can cross-check with other PDF documents, such as the PDF Reference, http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_reference_1-7.pdf. It is not evince's fault. Evince is just respecting the standard. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 684005 ***
