Bug Description

Adding a new annotion in evince (Oneiric) no input is possible until one switches focus from the input window to the document window and back again.

Initially the cursor of the annotation input box is blinking, but no input is possible.

This happens in Oneiric using either xfec4 or Unity with every pdf I tried. Other users made the very same experience.

This is really annoying ...

Here's a patch for this issue, tested against 3.4.0-0ubuntu1.4 from Precise. Should also work for newer versions.

Thanks, it would be good to have review from upstream before we get that patch upload though, they probably added that line for a reason...
