This update addresses several issues, most notably a bug where internal PDF links sometimes directed users to the wrong page, typically one page off from their intended target. This occurred due to two separate pieces of code attempting to set the zoom level when links were clicked to access fit-width or fit-page views.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, users experienced another related issue where the alt + p shortcut, meant to return to the previous page, would not function after clicking on a problematic link.<\/p>\n<p>Other enhancements in the update include fixing scrolling glitches in image-heavy PDFs and CBZ files, which resulted in blank pages when scrolling quickly\u2014issues exacerbated by active fractional scaling. The calculations used during rendering were to blame.<\/p>\n<p>Further refinements address unexpected scrolling behavior when utilizing pinch-to-zoom gestures on touchpads, also linked to a GTK bug. A workaround has been implemented to disable kinetic scrolling during zooming.<\/p>\n<p>Other minor tweaks focus on eliminating jittery text in fractional scaling environments and correcting the icon sizes for the Pencil tool added in Papers earlier this year. The update also includes lower-level bug fixes and a security patch.<\/p>\n<p>The Papers 50.2 update is expected to roll out as a standard software update in the coming days, and users will be notified via the <em>Software Updater<\/em> when it is available for installation.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, you can visit the relevant links: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/welcome.gnome.org\/app\/Papers\/\">Papers<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.omgubuntu.co.uk\/tag\/ubuntu-26-04-lts\">Ubuntu 26.04 LTS<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is preparing a bug fix update for Papers, the document viewer that replaced Evince in version 25.04.
