I have found a workaround, although it is a bit of a pain to do every time.
If I right-click in the search bar and select a different "Input Method" then I can type and find works as expected. Whenever evince is opened the input method always already selected is: "System (IBus (Intelligent Input Bus))" If I select something else from the list, including "None", "Simple" or "X Input Method" then I can type. If I select "System (IBus)" then I can't type again. So the problem seems to be related to this in some way. If I try the same thing in gedit then I find I can type with "System (IBus)" selected without any problems. Evince is the only thing I have seen this behaviour in so far. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247621 Title: Cannot type in evince search field in Ubuntu 13.10 Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Since I've upgraded to ubuntu 13.10, and evince 3.10.0, the search field doesn't works.
