[Pkg-gnome-extras-maintainers] Bug#1128284: evince: Hangs when hovering on a link

[Damien]

Package: evince
Version: 49~alpha-2
Followup-For: Bug #1128284
X-Debbugs-Cc: Damien.Pous at ens-lyon.fr

Dear Maintainer,

Same observation here: evince hangs and must be killed everytime I hover on a
link since last upgrade (~Feb 17).
Several additional important regressions:
- navigation in the file has become painful: 'space' no longer works, page-up
page-down frequently freeze
- no longer keeps track of zoom factor when reopening a given file / opens most
files with a non satisfying one
- thumbnails are super small (I don't care but who knows...)
- no support for synctex anymore (apparently a motivated decision, but critical
feature for me as a happy user of emacs+auctex).

I wish I could go back to the previous version as this is really painful for my
work (I did with https://snapshot.debian.org/ without any success)

Should I open new bug-reports for the various regressions?
Any hope to keep a frozen version somewhere with synctex support, as long as
new evince/pages do not support it?

Thanks for your help and efforts,
Damien
