GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 782371
Evince displays grey pages + OOM on the console on certain pages with certain PDF files
Last modified: 2018-05-22 17:08:27 UTC
Created attachment 351412 [details] offending pdf file Some PDF files with the official JBoss guides cause Evince to display a grey page, plus the nav bar gets grey as well and weird: see e.g. http://imgur.com/lI87Ghz Steps: - start evince from the terminal - open the acctached pdf (from https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_jboss_enterprise_application_platform/7.0/pdf/development_guide/Red_Hat_JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform-7.0-Development_Guide-en-US.pdf) - go to page 69 (will look ok) - scroll down to the next page - you will see a grey page - on the terminal you'll see some OOM errors: (evince:14769): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'EvView': out of memory (evince:14769): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkScrolledWindow': out of memory (evince:14769): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkOverlay': out of memory (evince:14769): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkBox': out of memory (evince:14769): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkPaned': out of memory (evince:14769): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkBox': out of memory (evince:14769): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'EvWindow': out of memory - keep scrolling and you'll see Evince "going crazy" Works fine with the built-in PDF reader embedded in Firefox (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox#w_using-the-built-in-pdf-viewer); http://imgur.com/XZhQlPK. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04, Evince 3.18.2. All screenshots here: http://imgur.com/a/7mFJW BTW I've found that this bug has already been reported on Red Hat Bugzilla, but I think it makes sense to report it here as well. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1378961 Firefox's pdf viewer gives me these info, which I think you may find useful: File name: Red_Hat_JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform-7.0-Development_Guide-en-US.pdf File size: 2,89 MB (3.030.937 bytes) Title: Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.0 Development Guide Author: - Creation Date: 17/2/2017, 21:10:55 Modification Date: - Creator: wkhtmltopdf 0.12.2.1 PDF Producer: Qt 4.8.6 PDF Version: 1.4 Page Count: 382
The document in the link works fine. No warning. The document attached in the bug [1] triggers the issue. [1] bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1241252

No warning. > > The document attached in the bug [1] triggers the issue. > > [1] bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1241252 I've tried again and I can confirm it doesn't work on my machine, with evince 3.18.2. What version are you using?
Evince master, with Poppler master. BTW, in the aforementioned bug, it is stated something similar to what I saw.
