GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 616857
PDF shaded background displayed incorrectly
Last modified: 2010-04-27 12:34:24 UTC
Hi to all. I've created a PDF (http://giuliopaci.interfree.it/bugsreports/shading-bug.pdf) with a shaded background and this is displayed incorrectly by both evince 2.28.2 and 2.30.0 on my Debian (squeeze, amd64) environment. On the same system the same file is displayed correctly by both xpdf and okular. The error is that the shade should extend to the whole page, while in evince the bottom part is just a white rectangle. Here is an example of the incorrect rendering: http://giuliopaci.interfree.it/bugsreports/shading-bug.png Bests, Giulio.
Looks like a bug in poppler cairo backend, I've just forwarded it to the freedesktop bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27837 Thanks for reporting.
Not at all. By the way, as this is the second time I'm reporting a bug here that ended up being a poppler cairo backend bug, am I doing something wrong posting bugs here? How can I decide by myself if a bug refer to evince or poppler? Thank You for all Your work, Giulio.
Rendering is done by poppler, so rendering issues are likely to be poppler bugs. It's always better reporting to the wrong place than not reporting at all, so when in doubt feel free to report it here.
Btw, it's fixed now in poppler git master: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/commit/?id=f9f0e4b747a1527bd6354897cdba7954d58651de
