Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

OS: Ubuntu 9.04
Evince package version: 2.26.1-0ubuntu1

What I expected to happen: The sidebar index's subcategories should only expand by actually clicking on the little triangle button next to the index entry. As a sidenote, this is Acrobat's default behaviour.

What actually happened: When scrolling through a document, the index's subtrees expand automatically when a page matching an index entry is reached. This means that when navigating a thoroughly bookmarked PDF, many categories will expand, creating a cumbersomely long and cluttered index, thus defeating the purpose of a hierarchically subdivided menu.

If more information is needed, I'd be happy to oblige. I also make a good guinea pig.

Thanks for your time,
Ryder

Argh. My bad. Did not realize that suggestions for defaults should not be reported as bugs in Ubuntu. My apologies.

Am now heading over to Ubuntu brainstorm.
