Feature enhancement: When <Ctrl>+Scroll zooming, include Page Width, Fit Page

Nick, why did you confirmed this and not added a comment saying why you did it?. To be forwarded upstream by someone interested on the feature, for forwarding instructions please have a look to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME ; leaving this as incomplete until that, thanks.

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to New. Thanks again!.

Forgive me; the behavior I'm trying to describe is a bit nuanced, but I think it is important to the end users' experience. I'll try again to explain it.

Like most applications that support zooming, Evince allows me to hold Control while I scroll my mouse wheel and the document zooms in and out. What Evince does NOT do, however is "Fit Width" or "Fit Page" as you scroll. For example, if I'm currently at a zoom factor of 125 and the page does not quite reach the edges of the canvas, I will "scroll zoom" to make the document bigger. But Evince just jumps the zoom factor up to the next fixed increment, 150, which causes the document to run off the sides of the canvas. I think Evince should be smart enough to zoom to "Fit Width" if that zoom factor falls between the current zoom level and the next fixed zoom level (125 and 150 in the example I gave). If this bug is still not clear, please try to ask what, specifically, is unclear.

The request is somewhat similar to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340953

The issue should be fixed upstream with http://git.gnome.org/browse/evince/commit/?id=3ce4d8884174965e03cdb9f16c3c30e95ec69d63

The fix will be in evince 3.8 which should land in Ubuntu either this cycle or next one

This bug was fixed in the package evince - 3.8.2-0ubuntu1
