This may be an Ubuntu kernel problem. I have upgraded my kernel from 5.15.0.37.39 to 5.15.1-051501.202111061036 without changing anything else, and the mentioned problem with Evince has gone away.
But this problem resurfaces after changing back to the previous kernel 5.15.0.37.39 from grub during boot. So, some changes from kernel 5.15.0.37.39 to 5.15.1-051501.202111061036 solve this problem.

Can anybody confirm this?
