changes in the function of ctrl-r on evince

[Lajany Otum <lajany_otum yahoo co uk>]

I'm a mathematician who uses evince to read documents pdf documents created using LaTeX. This process involves making changes to the LaTeX source file and running pdflatex to produce the pdf output from the LaTeX source. Now, I've recently upgraded to gnome 2.18 from 2.16 and noticed that the functionality of ctrl-r which I use to refresh the pdf file in evince after running pdflatex has changed for the worse in the new version of evince. The gripe is that previously, if I was working on, say, page 12 of my document,  and had evince open on page 12 of the document, ctrl-r would reload the pdf file while remaining open on page 12. In the new version of evince, ctrl-r reloads the document at the first (!!) page, meaning that whenever I make changes to the source file, I have to run pdflatex, press ctrl-r and then page down from the first page to page 12 (or whatever page I happen to be working on) to observe the effect of the changes made in the source file on the pdf output. This behaviour (which I first recently noticed in the document viewer that comes with Mac OS X), is a real drag on productivity and is annoying to say the least.

Now, though the postscript viewer gv does not exhibit this bizarre behaviour, it is a lot harder on the eyes than evince, meaning that it is not a practical alternative.

Is there any way to change the default behaviour of ctrl-r in evince?
