Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

- Open a pdf with Index
- Click on a section in the Index
- Press Tab

Expected behavior:

- I don't know. I accidentally clicked Tab instead of Alt+Tab

Observed behavior:

- Evince very quickly goes through the Index, section after section. I didn't find a way to stop the madness except closing evince and reopening the pdf.

I tested this with the Vulkan specifications (https://www.khronos.org/registry/vulkan/specs/1.0/pdf/vkspec.pdf) and the C11 standard (http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1570.pdf)

What do you mean by current?

I tried it on Ubuntu 14.04 (evince 3.10.3) and the bug is not present. With my Ubuntu 15.10 it _is_ though. Hopefully someone else would try it and we'd see if it is reproducible by others.

I tested on xenial with 3.18.2 but I don't have a 15.10 install handy to test, maybe it's fixed in the new version
