So, it’s been one month and a few days since I started to work for evince, and it has been great 🙂
I’ve been managing to fix lots of things and some of my commits are even pushed to the master branch already, so next gnome release will contain a few lines which I authored! It’s good to feel useful 😀

The people have also been very nice, helpful and patient, specially jaliste, my mentor. Also, I finally get what’s the deal with git, and why there are so many adepts… once you learn it properly, it is indeed great!
Since the last report, I feel I have found more bugs than fixed… Let’s see how the lists progressed:
What is done:
- The color issue that I have mentioned was actually filed as a bug, along with an opacity issue. I fixed them both here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725571
- The sidebar is refreshed once an annotation is deleted and its entry is removed from there. This was reported in this bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649044
- ev-annotation-window uses “notify::rgba”, set_rgba and GdkRGBA instead of colors (Colors are deprecated according to the doc). I filed the bug and sent the patch: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732095
- “Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.” is no longer thrown when the annotation property dialog is opened. Also filed and proposed patch: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732114
- Clicking on the annotation icon open and closes the annotation window.
- Annotations can be deleted (by gpoo).
- The annotation window has one color, like a post-it.
- The annotation window opens focused.
- The popup menu opened upon right-clicking the annotation icon contains only annotation options (i.e., “Annotation properties” and “Delete”).
- If the annotation window is focused, the changes to the annotation are acknowledged.
What is still missing (unfortunately all but one* issues from the last list still need work, and this list keeps growing and growing!):
- “New annotations cannot be selected under a specific circumstance: Remove every annotation in a page, add a new one. The annotation is added, but the cursor does not change. Like if ev_view didn’t know there is one. This does not happen if there is at least one annotation left.” (reported by gpoo in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649044, verified that it is still a bug)
- The sidebar is not refreshed after renaming of annotations’ labels.
- When the annotation sidebar is reloaded, the open page tab (if there is one open) closes again.
- When an annotation window appears as a result of scrolling through the document, it should not get the focus.
- The icon needs to be “movable”.
- Alt-tab behaves in a weird way if there is an annotation window open.
- There should be an indication as to which comment icon a note belongs to when it is opened.
* The clicking and moving issue mentioned before was not an effect of my changes. Turns out it happens also in the master branch and even in older gnome releases. And it seems it’s only on my machine, so I need to check the configuration and ask gtk+ people.
