Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

When reading a document with evince, I can't make it display the document continously without switching to the top of the current page. That's pretty annoying because it's a confusing new view and even more annoying if I've already been at the bottom of the page.

To reproduce, open a document in evince,
make sure that "Continuous" is unchecked in "View" Menu
scroll to the bottom of the page
click "continuous" from View Menu
see evince scrolling up to the top of the page
