Description Michael Biebl 2012-04-24 15:21:38 UTC 
Bug-Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668619

After the libcairo update from 1.10 to 1.12, evince crashes in several PDF documents when scrolling around in the document. The Debian bug report has some examples:

Downgrading libcairo makes the crashes go away.

Seems to have been a bug in cairo itself and I was kindly pointed at

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/commit/?id=113ec6bf0c8ed1ff12293d1ed2a2de9bd5b9904b

After applying that patch to cairo, the issue went away.

Closing this bug report.
