does evince honour urls marked up as url hyperlinks? it appears not to

[Ralph Amissah <ralph amissah gmail com>]

I stumbled upon evince a couple of days ago. Am extremely pleased with it, 
great pdf rendition with a light footprint.

Here is an issue though,
i am not certain of this, but it appears as though where a url in pdf,
is marked up as a hyperlink, evince has problems with recognising it.

the page 
http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/portrait

provides a number of examples, links are(/appear to be) 
correctly marked up, latex markup (for urls) used to produce 
pdf is correct, but links that contain text with 
  http://[url name]
fail
whereas the same links are fine provided they include other text.

if this makes it clearer (latex example used to produce the pdf), 
the following links would be recognized by evince:
  \href{ http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/ }{ SiSU }
  \href{ http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/ }{ www.jus.uio.no/sisu/ }
this one would not:
  \href{ http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/ }{http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/ }

Does evince try to automatically recognise urls?
and if it does should it not be clever enough to recognise when a url is 
already marked up as a hyperlink?

(I am told acroread may have a similar problem to evince 
on the example page but that xpdf does not. 
Despite acroread being a standard pdf reader, 
if this is the case it still is a bug in evince behaviour no?).

Thanks in advance,
Ralph


[The urls/hyperlinks in both cases (ordinary text and containing a url)

appear to be correctly marked up, at least the LaTeX used to produce 

the pdfs looks fine]
