Re: [orca-list] using evince

[Nolan Darilek <nolan thewordnerd info>]

I know how to read-all. My observations are that, when I have a large 
document open, evince just shows a page or 2 at a time. So if I try 
continuous reading, the cursor hits the end of the visible text and then 
stops.

It would be nice if scrolling happened automatically, or if the entire 
document could load at once.
