I have also ran into the bug on Precise 12.04 LTS, which is really a shame for an LTS release.
However, I have found a work around that resets the side pane for an afflicted PDF file. If you can not longer make the size pane smaller: [1] Close the offending PDF if it is currently opened in evince [2] At the command line: $ gvfs-set-attribute afflicted_file.pdf "metadata::evince::sidebar_size" 100 [3] Reopen PDF and enjoy. Hopefully this helps somebody a bit until a solution can be reached with regards to hscrollpolicy that finds its way into the official repo. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/704232 Title: can´t resize side pane To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evince/+bug/704232/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
