Package: evince
Version: 3.14.1-2+deb8u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***

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:
