Bug Description

Open a PDF in evince that contains links (e.g. http://jigsaw.w3.org/Doc/JigsawDoc.pdf ) and move the mouse over some links.
They may well not work
Change the zoom (usually works best changing smaller)
The links now work
Change the zoom (usually works worst changing bigger)
The links probably don't work now

Tested with latest dapper as of this report and various PDFs

Thanks for your bug. What do you mean that "links do not work". Is the cursor not changing on mouseover? Or does it open the wrong page? Are those links to a website or to some other position of the PDF?

The cursor doesn't change and clicking on the links has no effect.
It seems to apply to both internal links and URLs

The issue seems to happen on dapper and not on edgy, it has probably been fixed by an update. I'm marking the bug as fixed, if anybody gets the issue on edgy feel free to reopen
