Public bug reported: The left panel (the one showing thumbnails, index, layers, etc.) is displayed by default when opening a PDF for the first time. If I hide it (F9), close Evince and re-open it with the same file, the panel is hidden. This is expected, OK.
However, when I open a different file, the panel is displayed again. It seems that the display status of the panel is only saved for each files, and not as a global option. This is not consistent with the vast majority of other applications.
