Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

Some pdf documents don't have all their pages in the same width, so the "Fit Page Width" mode goes with the largest width which is most of the times only the cover page and then the rest of the document is in a much smaller scale.
As I scroll down, evince goes with the largest page width anyway, no matter what page I'm on or how far am I from the front "much wider" page.

I think the "Fit Page Width" mode should go with the currently selected page, not the largest page width in the document.

I've attached some screenshots, I can't upload the whole file right now because it's over 200 megs. Dimitrios's file seems to show the issue clearly.

An additional "Fit current page width" would be great.
