Description Michael Catanzaro 2015-02-25 16:32:22 UTC
To reproduce:

* Disable the evince browser plugin in Firefox (weird menu -> Add-ons -> Never Activate)
* Navigate to http://cse.unl.edu/~goddard/Courses/RealTimeSystems/Lectures/CyclicExecModel.ps
* Open with Document Viewer
* Everything works fine, yay
* Now close Firefox while Evince is still open.

Evince usually crashes as soon as Firefox is closed. Sometimes I need to hit F5 to make it crash. I guess Evince is having trouble with the file being deleted out from under it.

Comment 1 Michael Catanzaro 2015-02-25 16:36:14 UTC
The backtrace here looks really similar to bug #745170
Comment 2 Carlos Garcia Campos 2015-02-27 11:09:33 UTC
Could it be that firefox removes the file when closed?
Comment 3 Michael Catanzaro 2015-02-27 18:30:17 UTC
I assume so
