GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 392888
Evince isn't very useful in presentation mode because of the "Loading" screens
Last modified: 2007-01-05 16:46:17 UTC
Please describe the problem: The "Loading" screen, while evince is loading a new page, makes presentations unpleasant, and downright impossible when animation is involved. Some sort of double-buffering, or even just XPDF's behavior (which doesn't double-buffer, but doesn't do the "Loading" thing), would solve this. Steps to reproduce: 1. Load a multi-page PDF, preferrably one with complicated rendering 2. Switch to "Presentation Mode" 3. Switch from one page to another Actual results: On page transitions, the previous page is cleared, a big "Loading" sign is displayed until the new page renders Expected results: The previous page should stay displayed, and overwritten quickly when the new page is ready to be rendered Does this happen every time? Usually with complex PDF's Other information:
