Middle clicking on a link to open it in a new window does not render the PDF
Summary:
Middle-clicking on a link / reference in a PDF (e.g. produced using the LaTeX hyperref package) opens it on a new window (as expected) but does not render the PDF.
By link, I mean a link to another part of the PDF, not an URL.
Slightly scrolling the page to force a refresh solves the issue.
Product: Evince 3.28.2, nighly (2018-09-04)
Steps to reproduce:
- Download https://arxiv.org/pdf/1704.08635.pdf.
- Open it in Evince.
- Middle-click on any of the green/red links (small boxes around numbers).
Observed behaviour:
- A new window is opened, but the PDF is not rendered.
- Scrolling slightly causes the PDF to render correctly.
Expected behaviour:
- A new window is opened, and the PDF is rendered correctly without requiring further intervention from the user.
