Public bug reported:
When I select text in a certain pdf, evince consumes hundreds of MBs to
a few GBs of RAM. This ram is not freed on deselection. High CPU usage
accompanies the RAM allocation.
version: evince 3.4.0
OS: ubuntu 12.04 fully updated.
Steps to reproduce: Open the pdf I have attached and attempt to select
around a page of text. Keep a system monitor or a terminal open so you
can kill it easily if your system freezes for lack of RAM.
** Affects: evince (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
