Re: [evince] Fixing my first bug!

[Rob Sargent <robjsargent gmail com>]

Get a reproducible failure set-up.
Start favourite IDE
Find (guess at) the relevant section(s) of the code base.
Add breakpoints in relevant section(s)
Watch what's going on as you step through failure point.
Take a stab at fixing the problem.
Repeat.

I have been able to see the issue with the behaviour of history of pages.

I have seen the direcories you mentioned.
Can you help me go about the code base? I'm not familiar with it.

You can try this one:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696891

You might want to check inside the shell directory, in particular,
ev-window.c and ev-history*.
