Description Paul 2018-02-20 23:17:33 UTC 
Open a PDF and search it, for instance for the letter 'e'. evince prints numerous error messages to stderr of the form:

(evince:30830): Gtk-WARNING **: Allocating size to EvWindow 0x559a7c972f10 without calling gtk_widget_get_preferred_width/height(). How does the code know the size to allocate?

The more common the search term, the more errors.

There is also always one similar error about EvSidebar every time evince starts.

evince 3.26.0-1 on Ubuntu 17.10
