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.

Thanks for for forwarding. This seems to be fixed in a later version.

Indeed, I cannot reproduce this on Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" with Evince 2.32.0-0ubuntu1.

Note that Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" LTS desktop support will end in April 2011, so you might want to think about upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" LTS.

As there is unlikely to be a patch for the version of Evince in Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron", I'm marking this bug as Fix Released.
