[Bug 426145] Re: image input box does not work in PDF form in evince

 

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: evince
  
- I have a PDF form that includes a box at the bottom where you can add an
- image to the PDF (typically a scan of your signature).  In acroread,
- hovering over this area turns the pointer into a hand and clicking open
- up a dialogue to select an image file.  In evince (2.26.1), hovering
- over the area does turn the pointer into a hand, but clicking brings up
- no file selection window.
