Binary package hint: evince

Thank you for your bug report, is the issue specific to evince?

[kinseywk (kinseywk)]

Yes, it's just Evince. I've even reinstalled from scratch since then, and
I'm getting the same thing.

Could you try removing ~/.gnome2/evince/ and tell us if the problem has gone away? Thank you

[kinseywk (kinseywk)]

Negative. The problem has not gone away after removing ~/.gnome2/evince/

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of Evince is available in both Lucid and Maverick and we are wondering if this is still reproducible in any of those versions, May you please test and give us of feedback about it? Thanks in advance.
