Bug 239885 – app-text/evince- 2.22.2-r1: crashes when scrolling

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Stefan 2008-10-05 10:45:40 UTC]

Evince often crashes when scrolling, it seems that if you scroll slower the problem occurs less often.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a pdf with Evince
2. Scroll around
3. Wait for it crashing

Actual Results:  
Evince crashed with GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed


Expected Results:  
Let me read that pdf...

could you attach:

1) a meaningful backtrace (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml)
2) the pdf causing this error, or is it happening with any pdf ?

[Comment 2 Stefan 2008-10-05 11:47:51 UTC]

2) It's happening with every pdf I've tried...

After syncing and emerge world today and then reemerging evince because of: evince: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler-glib.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
the problem seems to have vanished.

[Comment 3 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2008-10-05 12:34:02 UTC]

looks like it was poppler-bindings broken

[Comment 4 Andrey Vihrov 2009-01-08 11:21:44 UTC]

I encountered similar failures with the latests stable amd64. Re-emerging evince fixed the problem. I wonder why didn't revdep-rebuild pick it.
