Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

Evince Document Viewer 0.9.1 using poppler 0.5.9 (cairo) atop of Xubuntu-7.10.2 Gusty-Gibbon-Tribe-2
Heads-Up PDF-viewing info.
Only some images show, only partial blocks/areas of both headings and standard text font show in either fit to page or best-fit, but the real trick is when highlighting the missing areas/blocks, they suddenly materialize while the highlight is illuminating them, which is somewhat disconcerting through Xfce's pale-blue highlight-theme-hue.
Can't be missing dependencies, as the info is there when highlighted, but not otherwise. When highlight is removed, content reverts to invisible/disappears.
Not serious while other PDF-viewers are available, but disconcerting.
Not a security issue or anything critical. Does not crash anything. Evince is Xfce's preferenced doc-viewer, so perhaps needs attention.
