Bug Description

Binary package hint: yelp

Ubuntu 8.04.

Help 2.22.1.

"Evince Document Viewer Manual"

"Shortcuts" page.

It says that Home = Go to the first page, End = Go to the last page. That's not right, at least in my version of Evince, which is 2.22.2.

The actual key functions are:
Home goes to start of page. End goes to end of page. Ctrl-Home goes to start of document. Ctrl-End goes to end of document.

By the way, why does the "About" screen identify the application as "Help" when its real name is "yelp"? - I had to do some finding out to discover the real package name.

I can confirm this. It only happens when continuous view is disabled. if continuous view is enabled, the behaviour is as described in the manual...

ps. ron, giving the "human" name of a program, instead of the executable's name, is standard behaviour... try running eog and then go to about, to see "eye of gnome". to make things even more complicated, the executable's name might be different from the package name in some cases... see openoffice (executable: ooffice)
