[Bug 159300] Re: Search is disabled when reading postscript documents

 

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: evince
  
- I don't know if this is a bug or just a wishlist item, but when opening
- a ps file with evince I noticed that the "find" function is disabled.
+ 1) lsb_release -rd
+ Description:	Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
+ Release:	15.04
  
- If I convert the ps into pdf with ps2pdf and then open the latter with
- evince then the search is enabled and works correctly.
+ 2) apt-cache policy evince
+ evince:
+   Installed: 3.14.1-0ubuntu1
+   Candidate: 3.14.1-0ubuntu1
+   Version table:
+  *** 3.14.1-0ubuntu1 0
+         500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages
+         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
+ 
+ 3) What is expected to happen is when one opens the attached file via evince, one may search via Ctrl+F:
+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/159300/+attachment/4278783/+files/diplom.ps
+ 
+ 4) What happens instead is it is greyed out.
+ 
+ WORKAROUND: Convert the ps into pdf with ps2pdf, and then open the PDF
+ with evince.
