When I visualized a PDF document full page, evince does not go down one page when I press the "page down" button of my keyboard. In fact, no matter what display zoom is used, "Page Down", "Page Up" never move the document correctly. Only move by ~90% of the display page, making it impossible to read a document without having to manually move the page. The Previous Page and Next Page Button of the toolbar works. evince-0.5.3-r1 -------------------- Portage 2.1-r2 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.6-r4, 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.4 app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe -msse3" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/lib64/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe -msse3" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/ http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/ http://open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/gentoo http://prometheus.cs.wmich.edu/gentoo " MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/disk0/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/mnt/src/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/local/overlays/m199 /usr/portage/local/layman/vmware" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X alsa avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo bzip2 cairo cdr cli cups daap dbus divx4linux dlloader dri dvd dvdr dvdread dvi emboss encode fam fftw firefox flac font-server foomaticdb fortran gif gimp gimpprint glitz gnome gnomedb gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal imlib isdnlog jpeg kerberos lm_sensors lzw lzw-tiff metar mono mp3 mpeg nautilus ncurses network nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia ogg oggvorbis ole openal opengl oss pam pcre pdf pdflib perl plotutils png ppds pppd python qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba sdl sensord server session sftplogging smp spell spl ssl svg tcpd theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb v4l v4l2 vnc vorbis x264 xml xmms xorg xpm xscreensaver xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_evdev kernel_linux userland_GNU video_cards_nvidia video_cards_vesa video_cards_fbdev" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Ok I discovered only now that I filed a bug report - after months of not using evince because of that "bug" - that it was due to the option "Continuous". Disabling it makes Page Down Page Up work normally again. I would still argue that when in "best fit" mode which fit one page, page down should go down one page exactly - even in continuous mode.
I'm not sure I agree, to be honest; What you really want (as you found) is non-continuous mode. However, I've passed this on to upstream to make a final decision. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351717
