Touchscreen scrollbar behavior: don't warp slider in Evince/GTK3 #touchscreen #gtk3 #evince

Argh, filling in a #PDF form with #Evince. I accidentally tick a radio button that I shouldn't have ticked. I now cannot untick it. #Okular seems to have the same problem.
(The form has clearly been authored wrong, since it has 2 separate radio button groups where there should be one, leading to the possibility of having 2 buttons ticked at the same time, but really, I don't want to have to re-fill in the entire form just because nothing will let me undo the selection!)

I stumbled upon a 2300-pages-long PDF document that actually is a fantastic benchmark for slow search performance (1.5 to 5 minutes) in most PDF readers (including GNOME Papers, Evince and Okular)… so I fired up #Sysprof through GNOME Builder to measure the slowness, and reported my findings in #Poppler for all of you performance optimization aficionados: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/-/issues/1660

New hardcore #PDF rendering performance benchmark for #Poppler:
"Jesus Christ it's a #Lyon (map), get in the car!" :blobnom:That map takes 26 seconds to render with Poppler on #Linux, but only 6 seconds with PDFjs, or 15 seconds with XPDF: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/-/issues/1555
I've profiled the issue on the various Poppler rendering backends, and there are some hypotheses about the slowness. If anyone can help fix this, that would be fantastic.
