Sounds like Evince has really gone down hill since I last used Gnome.  I
use Atril on Mate desktop and it works as well as Evince ever used to
for me, which is expected seeing as it was forked from Gnome 2 sources.
 I have never had any problems cutting and pasting text.  And you can
definitely close the TOC panel.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see that Evince has lost capabilities.
 Seems to be the way Gnome apps are going these days.
