Evince window spans several monitors

[gpothier]

When opening some PDF files, the Evince window sometimes span several monitors. I have a vertical two-monitor setup (one monitor above the other). The primary monitor is on top and is external, while the other one (below) is the laptop's panel.
In some cases, when opening a PDF, the Evince window is taller than a single monitor, sometimes spanning the full height of both monitors, sometime something in-between. If I resize the window, close the file, and open it again, Evince remembers its last size and position.

Evince is the only application affected by this problem on my system.

This is still happening in Ubuntu Gnome 16.10. It seems it does not happen with all pdf files, but the attached one displays the problem. Interestingly, opening and closing it multiple times makes the window grow bigger and bigger, until it occupies the whole height of both monitors.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
