highlighted find entry does not correspond to current page

[Krister Swenson]

1. open a PDF

2. open the find functionality (<ctrl>-f).

3. type a common word like "the".

4. click on one of the matches on the left.

5. move to another page with "the" on it.

6. click the "find next" button (or <ctrl-g>).

EXPECTED:
   one of the "the"s on the current page is highlighted.

ACTUAL:
   the next the on the original page is highlighted.

COMMENTARY:
The problem is that I often use the find so that all the occurences of a word are highlighted. I find a particular occurrence and then scroll while looking at the context. There is no quick and easy way to know which match I am currently looking at.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

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.
