I think I figured it out. The find function was actually working all along. However, for some reason, the initial size of the window is such that the "Find" dialog at the bottom of the page is exactly off-screen (hidden below the toolbar). When I "maximize" the window, I then see the find dialog.
Why is the evince window opening with this initial size? Is it making some assumptions as to the initial size of the window? I have a Gnome panel across the top and across the bottom, 24 pixels high. Perhaps better to tell evince / gnome to maximize initially? -- find function in Evince not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159904 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
