Bug#560085: evince: Annoying text boxes behavior

[Andrey]

Package: evince
Version: 2.28.1-1
Severity: normal

Hello!

There are two text boxes in Evince:
1) Page number text box
2) Search text box

As of now, "global" key press events (PgUp/PgDn, Ctrl-Left/Ctrl-Right)
are processed if I'm in search text box, but are not processed when
I'm in page number text box.

Both features can be very inconvenient. When I'm in page number text
box, I expect PgUp/PgDn to work, but they don't. On the other hand,
when I wish to clear the text in search text box and hit
Ctrl-Shift-Left to select the text box contents, the page image gets
rotated. That's greatly annoying.

First of all, the text boxes should behave the same way. The best
solution would be to intercept only some "global" key events.
PgUp/PgDn, Up/Dn should be intercepted. Another idea is to reverse the
key press processing order (process globally only those key press
events which were not processed by text box). If above is too hard to
implement, no "global" key press events should be intercepted.

I'm ready to provide any additional info,
Andrey Paramonov
