Public bug reported:

1.) I open a PDF document.
2.) I set my preferred view mode for it.
3.) I click on "Save current settings as default"
4.) I open a copy of the document (by clicking on the "Open a Copy" item).

5.) The copy is opened. Unfortunately, my preferred and saved setting
have been ignored by evince and the document is displayed in a default
(for me a quite odd) way.

Some details: my preferred display regime is to utilise the PRECIOUS
VERTICAL SPACE as much effectively as possible for the document CONTENT.
I.e.:

I turn off all toolbars. Only the bar with "File", "Edit", etc is shown.
I use the "Best Fit" mode.
I turn OFF the "Continuous" mode. 
In additions I turn off also the side bar. 
In 90% of situations I do not need sidebar and I always prefer keyboard over mouse.
