Evince, mouse wheel does not change pages (page up/page down behaviour)
Solution 1:
I think I was a bit heedless, it works when I disable continuous mode and viewing with "best-fit" zoom level. (It works only within the best-fit mode, when switching to 50% or something similar it does not work).
To change modes click the box displaying the zoom percentage.
Solution 2:
go to the hamburger menu on the top right - there is an option "continuous" there. That should fix it!
