When I search for text in Evince, it finds results but doesn't seem to
support navigation to those results. For example, if I search for
"thanks to" in this document:
http://www.blogs.hss.ed.ac.uk/crag/files/2016/10/algocracy.pdf
I get a result, but neither by clicking or double-clicking on the result
in the results index pane, nor by clicking on the "next" or "previous"
arrows, can I navigate to that result. I have to manually scroll through
the document until I reach the (correctly highlighted) text.
I've verified this with other documents, and used (for example) xpdf to
check that such search navigation is possible in the documents I'm
testing with.
This *may* be a duplicate of the below bug, but it's worded in a way I
can't easily follow:
