GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 779796
Evince window spans several monitors
Last modified: 2018-05-22 17:04:02 UTC
When opening some PDF files, the Evince window sometimes span several monitors. I have a dual monitor setup (primary 2560x1440+0+0, secondary 1920x1080+2560+0) and when opening a PDF, the Evince window is taller than a single monitor. It only seems to happen for newly opened PDF files. If I resize the window, close the file, and open it again, Evince remembers its last size and position. I noticed for Ubuntu a bug was already filed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1594424 I am using Fedora 25 (fully updated) myself.
This happens all the time for me with dual monitors, it is very annoying. In addition to Evince opening a bizarrely sized window spanning monitors it sometimes will open a window contained in just one monitor but it's the secondary monitor, not the primary monitor. Basically everytime I open Evince I have to resize the window to fit on one monitor and/or move it to the primary monitor.
I wonder if this happens only when the screen sizes are different.
It happens to me sometimes , with equal screensizes...
I am using the version 3.28 and it happens to me sometimes. I don't known if it related but when using dual monitor setup evince sometimes causes a crash in gnome-shell.
