evince does not restore state (kde)

[Teunis Peters]

When desktop shuts down the current state is recorded - document, position in document. This used to work before ubuntu 12.04, and no longer works.

evince is otherwise an excellent pdf reader but this functionality is vital for it to be considered reliable.

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 14.04 (trusty) reached end-of-life on April 25,2019.

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.

Still the case in bionic. I can't go newer because my work tools don't work on newer versions.
This issue however has never been fixed.

Thanks for the update.
