Crashed at random. All I was doing at the time was looking through the menu.

I just uninstalled liboverlay-scrollbar, and I can no longer reproduce the crash in evince while cycling quickly through the menu. So, perhaps this is a bug in liboverlay-scrollbar?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

reassigning to overlayscrollbars due to comment #5

[Andrea Cimitan (cimi)]

The menu is not using liboverlay-scrollbar at all, also there's no reference of liboverlay-scrollbar in the stacktrace.
I've also checked the duplicates, they all depend on a menu (right click on a selection, or moving in the menu).

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

This is the same exact trace as bug 738568. I'll mark as a dup.

[Martin Spacek (mspacek)]

Scratch that. I can't actually duplicate this problem in evince, with or without liboverlay-scrollbar. I still get a similar crash in nautilus (Bug #758197) , even with liboverlay-scrollbar uninstalled. My mistake. More likely it's a gtk/gnome problem?

By the way, the bug that this one's been marked as a duplicate of is private. Should that be changed, or do the rest of us simply have to be kept in the dark until the bug is fixed and the stack trace deleted?
