sample tiff

in ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS and 10.10 beta with compiz effects on
evince hangs when opening or manipulating some tiffs
while evince hangs /usr/bin/X does 100% CPU consumption

Comment 1 José Aliste 2010-09-17 16:40:56 UTC

Thanks for reporting. However, I can't reproduce on my machine, Does the hang happens alwayws with the attached file? Which version of evince are you using on 10.04.01 and on 10.10beta?

Comment 2 badfiles 2010-09-17 20:43:50 UTC

It sure does.
2.32.92
I am not sure it's evince bug, it might be just in the way evince displays data.
f-spot allows moving the window and scale the file, and nothing hangs.

When I do same things in evince, it hangs, but for a second or two. while hanging you know what happens. Even menus stop fading.

I face this bug since ubuntu 10.04 beta, on two hardware-different machines (both with ati graphics, community drivers) 

Turning compiz off solves the problem.

Any progress with this bug?

Also rotating such tiffs is buggy.

Comment 5 Xavier Claessens 2012-10-15 12:33:34 UTC

Both provided samples are displayed instantaneously with evince 3.6 on ubuntu 12.10. I would consider this bug already fixed.

I set it NEEDINFO waiting for reporter to test again on recent version of the distro/evince.

badfiles@mail.ru, the attachment you provided works well for me on a F17 machine. I presume this is OBSOLETE. Please reopen if this is still an issue.
