Description Steffen Röcker 2009-07-05 20:21:44 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I've been trying to open the PDF available at http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0611237 but Evince fails to open page 5 and only shows 'Loading'. Page 5 consists of text and an embedded graphic.
CPU usage is at ~80% and memory usages increase ~2Mb/s.

I have tried the Postscript version of the document with Evince and it can display page 5 but fails on page 10.
Acrobat Reader and gv can display the .pdf(/.ps) properly.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Get the pdf at http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0611237 
2. Open it with Evince
3. Wait forever to load page 5


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Comment 1 Peter Bašista 2009-07-09 11:08:23 UTC 
Hello,

I would like to confirm this bug. I am running:
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release:	9.10
Codename:	karmic
$ evince --version
GNOME Document Viewer 2.27.3
In Evince About box there is also this:
Using poppler 0.11.0 (cairo)

I have the latest versions of all my installed packages in karmic. The PDF page from http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0611237 refuses to generate correctly. At page 5, there is only Loading shown, but nothing else happens and Evince freezes.
When using xpdf, the results are about the same. Page 5 crashes xpdf with Segmentation fault. I am using:
$ xpdf -v
xpdf version 3.02

The page 5 of the mentioned document, incorrectly rendered using Okular.

Okular renders this page incorrectly, but at least it doesn't crash or hang.
Comment 4 Carlos Garcia Campos 2009-07-12 10:35:53 UTC 
It seems that page 5 takes a long time to render, probably because it uses patterns. In any case, it's a poppler issue. Please, file a bug report in freedesktop bugzilla. 

Thanks for reporting.
