GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 328810
Crash selecting from slow PDF
Last modified: 2006-01-27 11:10:53 UTC
Distribution: Debian testing/unstable Package: evince Severity: major Version: GNOME2.10.2 unspecified Gnome-Distributor: Debian Synopsis: Crash selecting from slow PDF Bugzilla-Product: evince Bugzilla-Component: general Bugzilla-Version: unspecified BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.10.1) Description: Description of the crash: Using Select All on the PDF attached to Bug #314847 causes a crash Steps to reproduce the crash: 1. Load http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=51717 2. Select All (Ctrl+A) 3. Wait (evince is very slow on this file) 4. If necessary unselect and reselect until it crashes Expected Results: No crash? How often does this happen? Additional Information: Presumably this is the same bug exhibited in #314847. However, that report does not mention crashing. My hope is that the stack trace collected by Bug Buddy will help to illuminate the cause of the crash. Debugging Information: Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/evince' (no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1". (no debugging symbols found) [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread -1227614528 (LWP 19877)] [New Thread -1229395024 (LWP 19878)] (no debugging symbols found) 0xb7112391 in waitpid () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6

As an aside, I'd estimate atleast 25% of PDFs I look at have this problem (the same one mentioned in Bug #314847). Would that make it qualify as "high impact" and thus "Urgent"? Another example page is http://www.cs.utk.edu/~plank/plank/papers/CS-96-332.html However, repeatedly selecting the Problem Specification paragraph of the second page seems to provoke the bug faster.
