Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

Ocassionaly (but unfortunately I can't reliably reproduce this) evince crashes when opening a document created with the gedit latex plugin.
To (try to) reproduce this:
- Create a latex document in gedit.
- compile this using the gedit latex plugin; the resulting pdf is automatically opened in evince.
- change your document and compile again. do this a couple of times. I do not close evince in between.
- at some point evince crashed.

I have the impression that this crash occurs when evince gets focus while reloading the changed document, but that's just a guess.

running 8.04 with all current updates as of june 27th.

Attached the document I was working on - I removed all actual content but don't believe this influences the crash.

Furthermore: I'm already waiting for the next crash to run gdb on it...
