Bug Description

When displaying certain PDF files, Ubuntu Document Viewer / Evince 3.4.0 duplicates a page and omits the next page.

An example is attached, which was downloaded from:
    http://leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_1151-1200/sb_1172_bill_20120905_enrolled.pdf

Evince duplicates page 6, omitting page 7. Using Adobe Reader 9.5.0 on Windows XP shows page 7 preceded by only one copy of page 6.

This bug appeared on my system Ubuntu 12.10, 64 Bit after a recent update of evince (hadn't been a problem before).

This problem doesn't appear for all pdfs, but many! Here is one where the bug does appear:
http://arxiv.org/pdf/1205.6214v2

to reproduce it, open the document an scroll down towards the end of a page, as this is reached, the display of the current page swaps into the next such that the next page is doubled.

Please give this top priority, it is extremely annoying!

David Cary, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Vivid Vervet.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please perform as much as possible of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.
