Description Dan Winship 2005-07-22 01:38:01 UTC 
With the latest ppopler/evince, whenever I save a PDF file, it ends up with an
icon of a completely transparent page (ie, a page-shaped hollow rectangle that
I can see the desktop through, although I can still click on the "transparent"
part and it does select the icon).

Could be related to bug 311228?

What do you mean? Or you actually meant open a PDF file?
Comment 3 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2005-07-26 11:56:50 UTC 
And is this reproducable with a particular pdf file or with any of them?
Comment 4 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2005-07-26 12:26:52 UTC 
What gtk version? Do you get warnings on the console?

> What do you mean? Or you actually meant open a PDF file?

Sorry, I'm talking about the nautilus icon thumbnails, not the sidebar
thumbnails within evince. So I did mean "save". (I don't use the sidebar
in evince, so I don't know if it happens there too, and I can't check
because it happens on my home PC and I'm at work right now.)

> And is this reproducable with a particular pdf file or with any of them?

It appears to be reproducible with any pdf file. In particular, if I make
a copy of an old PDF file that evince previously thumbnailed fine, then the
copy ends up with a transparent icon.

> What gtk version? Do you get warnings on the console?

Ah, gtk 2.6.something. That may be the problem?

Not sure about warnings because they'd be going to nautilus's stdout I guess.
I can check .xsession-errors when I get home...

I think there were some changes wrt. alpha handling when real text selection was
implemented in poppler
Comment 7 Dan Winship 2005-07-31 16:07:30 UTC 
Found it. The bug is in the non-cairo glib code in poppler.
