[Bug 1389159] [NEW] Clicking on search results doesn't take you to the corresponding page

 

Public bug reported:

When searching inside a PDF document in Evince, a side panel opens with
the results found (updated live while typing the search string). Each
search result item shows a bit of text and the page number.

When clicking a search result, Evince should take you to the
corresponding page. Instead, Evince does nothing, so you have to go to
that page manually.

It used to be the case that the current page also jumped to the first
search result (if the current page does not have any), but not anymore.
I guess these two bugs are related.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open PDF document with Evince
2) Click on search button (or press Ctrl+F)
3) Type some text expected to be found in the document
4) Click on one of the search result items on the side panel

Expected result:

5) Evince shows the page in which the result is found

Actual result:

5) Evince does not change the page that is currently showing.
