onebir, regarding only the scope of this report 1) through 2), this is
not reproducible in Trusty. As the touchscreen architecture has had a
massive overhaul pre-12.04 to post, if any of the other issues are still
reproducible, please re-file, one distinct issue per report (not slam
multiple, different issues into one report).

Title:
  Touchscreen usability problems

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Touchscreens may not be the primary Evince use-case, but so far it is
  the only djvu viewer (in particular) I've found (amongst Ubuntu
  repositories) that's usable with the touchscreen for reading books
  page by page (ie in 90deg rotated fullscreen mode). This is thanks to
  the onscreen page forward & back buttons maintained in that mode (but
  eliminated by other viewers in fullscreen).

  But this remains problematic in several ways:
  1) "fit page width" is not fitting the page width, but the page height when the document is rotated. Depending on the margins, the left side of the text may be truncated.
  2) if this happens, there's no way to scroll left, because the mouse does not become a hand tool in fullscreen mode
  3) it would also be useful if it were possible to scroll to the next or previous screen with touchscreen touches (left click & drag)
  4) "best fit" does display the whole page, but, because most documents have margins, the text is unnecessarily small, so a "fit visible" that closely fits the *actual text* to the window would be much better
  5) failing this, custom zoom levels would be very useful, particularly combined with the ability to consistently display the same region of the page (ie the text...), or to navigate around the screen with mouse drags.
