Bug Description
Binary package hint: evince
Right-to-left documents are set to a wrong view when they are opened and when you navigate to another page. That is, the horizontal scroll bar is put at the very left and the left part of the document is show-- which is suitable only for left-to-right documents. So, this default behavior should be corrected for RTL documents. The necessity to scroll to right every time you go to another page is really annoying.
To reproduce the bug, make a document in Open Office Writer in a right-to-left language (like Persian) and make a PDF file from it. Open the file in Evince and you will see the problem.
