Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
When reading through PDF slides, I find it most useful to read one page
at a time via keyboard shortcuts, but have free scrolling capability
with a mouse when necessary. For this reason, I use Evince in
"continuous" mode.
I looked up keyboard shortcuts in Evince via the Help > Contents menu,
then under the "Shortcuts" heading. It states that "Page Down" should
"Go to the next page". However, when I press Page Down / Page Up, they
function similarly to Space / Return / Backspace shortcuts, which scroll
an arbitrary distance. As a result, I am left with half of each slide
on the page, which is not optimal. This only happens when "continuous"
mode is selected-- otherwise the keys work as expected. Also, clicking
on the "Next" or "Previous" buttons on the toolbar behave as expected.
This is either a documentation bug, or a bug in the continuous mode.
Page Up and Page Down should function identically to the Next / Previous
buttons.
I don't think this is document or resolution specific, although I can
provide some examples if necessary.
Other details:
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System ->

3) What you expected to happen
Pressing "Page Down" scrolls a full page
4) What happened instead
Pressing "Page Down" actually functions similarly to spacebar or return, which
scrolls about half a page.
