Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

Evince does not remember my settings. There are two issues here:

1. My settings should be saved automatically. Currently I have to select Edit -> Save current settings as default to save my settings. This is ridiculous. When I select a particular setting, DO NOT SET IT BACK. When I setup a program a particular way, I do that because I WANT IT THAT WAY.

2. (Duplicate of bug 682492)Even when selecting "save current settings as default" the settings are NOT SAVED. Specifically:
- Window state (maximized/restored) is not saved (it always jumps back to restored).
- Zoom level is not saved (it always jumps back to fit page width)
- Toolvar visibility not saved
- And so on...

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.
