Bug Description
Binary package hint: evince
I have a PDF that seems to be only scanned text (can't select the text). When I try and select it anyways (look, I'm tired :-D), it seems to drag something, then evince hangs for a bit. Memory usage by evince ramps up (quickly gets up to 1gb, in less than 30 seconds), and I need to kill evince.
I can provide the specific PDF where this is happening in case there is trouble reproducing.
i'm using Karmic.
Thanks!
Gabe

To post a comment you must log in.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it without more information.
Please run the following command which will attach necessary information:
apport-collect 481459
You may need to install the python-launchpadlib package from the universe repository with 'sudo apt-get install python- launchpadlib' . Additionally, when prompted to give apport-collect permissions for Launchpad you will need to give it at least the ability to "Change Non-Private" data as it will be adding information to your bug report.
Please also do attach the specific PDF here ("Add an attachment" below the "Add comment" window); that would be very helpful. /bugs.launchpad .net/evince/ +bug/379403
Also take a look at this similar bug: https:/
It is supposed to be fixed in 9.10, but sounds very similar. It would be useful to know if the test cases on that bug cause the same problems as your test case.
