Vertical scrollbar has no minimal height

[Miguel J]

Since the upgrade to Xubuntu 12.10 (packet evince 3.6.0-0ubuntu2), the vertical scrollbar has a height that is strictly proportional to the visible fraction of the document. This means that becomes vanishingly small when the document is very long. I did not have this behavior with Xubuntu 12.04.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal) reached end-of-life on May 16, 2014.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

No, I don't have this problem anymore. It was a long time ago!
