Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but the maintainers need more information to fix the bug. Could you please answer the questions in the other report in order to help the developers? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 317294 ***
Thanks for your reply. The bug occurred in evince 0.4, which seems to be heavily outdated. I upgraded to evince 0.8 from debian experimental. Unfortunately, debian ships very old versions of evince in their gnome packages, even in "testing" and "unstable" distributions. Up to date, evince runs without any problems, so I think the reported problems are fixed in newer evince versions.
