Title:
evince makes ouput unreadable
Status in Evince:
Invalid
Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
First I have to say sorry: The title may not be describing the problem
properly. I just didn't find any better title. Secondly, "In what package did
you find this bug?" may be answered incorrectly. In fact, I always find this
problem launching evince or nautilus. But I cant't reproduce it with nautilus
this time (and also the last times the problem occurred - I just want to say
that I think that maybe the problem is somewhere in Gdk or Glib and perhaps not
in evince). Evince sometimes does something strange with the graphical ouput. I
don't know how to describe, but it seems to position the pixels randomly, one
pixel is black, one is white, but on some scrollbar positions it is normal and
if you press Ctrl-A, the text is marked correctly. Also, always when you click
on a page in the container on the left side of the window, the output is shown
correctly. You are always able to recognize the colors e.g. of graphics in the
document. There seems to be a certain pattern, but I can't recognize it. I am
not able to make a screenshot of the problem, because always when I press the
key, the output changes correctly. Also, when I open e.g. the File menu and in
turn close it, the area under the menu is drawn correctly.
After a reboot, most times the problem doesn't occur which also makes me feel
as if it'd have something to do with Gdk or Glib (or maybe X.org or the Intel
graphics driver. I'm using a Samsung N220 Plus).
The problem occurs constantly throughout a session. Restarting Evince does
not help.
