“Find” doesn’t move caret #537

Closed vvillenave closed 2 years ago

See upstream report as Evince #1679; also affecting Atril master.

Open a multi-page PDF (see attached example). Go up to the first
page and enable caret nav with F7.

Now open the search box with Ctrl-F, and type a word that appears
on the second page (in this example, "very").

Visually, the word is highlighted in the document view and that
view scrolls down to the second page.

If you hit the Down arrow, however, you’ll realize that the caret
has actually remained on the first page. That’s not the expected
behavior (e.g. in a web browser, a text editor or word processor).

Actually, it does work! I couldn’t make it work with Evince, but this feature appears to be supported by Atril.
