Bug 206550 – app-text/evince-2.20.2 fails to display djvu documents

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Slava Gorbunov 2008-01-18 17:11:44 UTC]

Evince displays thumbnails correctly, but shows only empty pages in the main view area. I've tried to rebuild evince and to upgrade djvu to the latest version, but it doesn't help. I have tried several files, the result was the same. 

I have evince built with USE="dbus djvu dvi t1lib tiff -debug -doc -gnome"

Here is the same problem reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/183964

Reproducible: Always

Works fine for me.  Do you have the djvu flag enabled?

[Comment 2 Oleksandr Pilipenko 2008-03-09 21:05:51 UTC]

I have empty pages on any scale from 70% to 125% in my djvu files too.

[Comment 3 Mart Raudsepp 2008-03-09 21:08:45 UTC]

This will be fixed in the GNOME 2.22 version of evince. The typical symptom I had (well, my father and his electronic schemes in djvu) before upgrading to 2.21.92 was that when zoomed in nothing would be shown.
Exactly the same as Slava described, fixed in upcoming 2.22.
It was some stride handling related things that were fixed in 2.21.9x and the fixes will enter the tree together with gnome 2.22 as stated before.

This is upstream bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482720
Patches available from http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evince?view=revision&revision=2884 if there is interest in trying to get 2.20 to work (which I'm sure Slava might appreciate)

I took the patch to configure and the djvu files and tried this. Didn't work for me.

evince-2.22.1.1 still has this bug. Now the behaviour is more strange: it renders pages only at specific zoom values, rendering empty pages at other zoom values.

Could you please add a comment on the upstream bug, possibly with an example djvu file to reproduce the error?

please provide a document that triggers the problem for you either by attaching it here or by sending it to an upstream developper if you don't want it to be disclosed.
