[SOLVED] With evince 3.14 no right click menu on window bar in Xfce4
In Xfce4, I can usually right click the title bar of a window to get a menu with options to Maximize, Minimize, Minimize all other windows, Move, Resize, Always on top, and so on. This can also be accessed by pressing Alt-Space, or by holding Alt and right clicking anywhere in the window, or by left clicking the application icon in the top left of the window.
I just upgraded Evince from 3.12.2-1 to 3.14.1-1, and now I can no longer access that menu, neither by right clicking, nor by pressing Alt-Space or alt-right clicking in the window, and the icon in the top left is gone.
Hence, I can no longer maximize Evince by pressing Alt-Space and then x -- I have to use the mouse, which I would prefer not to.
Is this a known issue? How can I tweak Xfce or Evince to reestablish the ability to maximize using only the keyboard?
Solution: I installed atril 1.8.1-2 as QuimaxW suggested, and it works just like the old Evince I knew, since it is a fork of Evince for MATE desktop.

Hello ravv,
I'm experiencing the same problem.
Have you found a solution to it?
Thanks!

Unfortunately not. I've found that holding Alt and double clicking the window will maximize it in my setup of Xfce4, and this is good enough for me to not study the problem further...

Just to add a note to this thread...evince is using the Gnome 3 interface, and it's apparently not changeable! (Ug)
With some searching, I found atril (in the official repos) looks to have the same functionality as evince, which isn't surprising as it's a fork of evince. See here: http://mate-desktop.org/
Anywho, it's making me happy for now, so I thought I'd throw that out there.
