Description Reinout van Schouwen 2005-06-26 13:58:06 UTC 
Version details: 0.3.2
Distribution/Version: mandriva cooker

Load http://www.cs.vu.nl/~reinout/pdf/TICPP2.pdf in evince. Try to search for
the term 'array'. Note that the view is flickering and that regions get
highlighted where the search string isn't present at all.

Updated patch

This patch should fix visible problems.

To say I don't much like the current state of things. In poppler sometimes
orientation is taken in account like in get_size functions, sometimes not, like
in find_text function. That is the reason of problems like this one. This looks
a bit broken. Of course, it's better to handle orientation and work with
portrait coordinates in backends.

Hi bugreports :)

Sorry, I don't understand, does the attached patch fixes the problem with your
testcase from comment #4 or not?
Comment 6 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2005-07-26 12:37:50 UTC 
We really need to fix the mess for gnome 2.12!
Comment 7 Nickolay V. Shmyrev 2005-08-07 18:26:38 UTC 
Marco, what is needed to fix this patch. Should we fix poppler so that it will
return coords in proper orientation when searching? 

But anyhow can you specify more about what needs to be done?
Comment 8 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2005-08-16 10:55:44 UTC 
I reworked that code to take orientation in account before leaving for vacation.
I think it worked for some pdf I used as testcases... Guess we should track the
problem for this specific pdf now...
Comment 9 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2005-08-22 08:15:03 UTC 
Looks like a problem with landscape pdfs.
Comment 10 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2005-08-22 09:03:29 UTC 
I sent a patch to poppler list to fix this. Let's keep it open until it's
committed though.
