Title:
  evince grabs the mouse

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  Ubuntu Maverick (10.10) system, upgraded to Natty (11.04), evince
  2.32, "classic" gnome desktop.

  This is hard to explain... when I open a document in evince, and then
  I pass the mouse over it in any way, it grabs the mouse and goes into
  a document-scrolling mode.  I can not simply pass over the document,
  for example, trying to go from one side of the screen to the other.
  Once the mouse enters evince (and it can either be in the left-hand
  section that shows multiple pages, or in the main area that shows the
  document), the pointer stays on the same part of the screen, and the
  document slides around under it.

  I end up having to use keyboard commands to either alt-tab and make
  another application get focus, or maybe close the document using
  crtl-W or alt-F-Q.

  I thought that it might have had to do with me removing the overlay
  scrollbars (I removed overlay-scrollbar and liboverlay-scrollbar-0.1-0
  and I set LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0).  But when I reinstalled the overlay
  scrollbars, evince still grabbed the mouse.

  I am perplexed.  Has anyone else seen this problem?
