evince makes ouput unreadable

[Jayk]

First I have to say sorry: The title may not be describing the problem properly. I just didn't find any better title. Secondly, "In what package did you find this bug?" may be answered incorrectly. In fact, I always find this problem launching evince or nautilus. But I cant't reproduce it with nautilus this time (and also the last times the problem occurred - I just want to say that I think that maybe the problem is somewhere in Gdk or Glib and perhaps not in evince). Evince sometimes does something strange with the graphical ouput. I don't know how to describe, but it seems to position the pixels randomly, one pixel is black, one is white, but on some scrollbar positions it is normal and if you press Ctrl-A, the text is marked correctly. Also, always when you click on a page in the container on the left side of the window, the output is shown correctly. You are always able to recognize the colors e.g. of graphics in the document. There seems to be a certain pattern, but I can't recognize it. I am not able to make a screenshot of the problem, because always when I press the key, the output changes correctly. Also, when I open e.g. the File menu and in turn close it, the area under the menu is drawn correctly.
After a reboot, most times the problem doesn't occur which also makes me feel as if it'd have something to do with Gdk or Glib (or maybe X.org or the Intel graphics driver. I'm using a Samsung N220 Plus).
The problem occurs constantly throughout a session. Restarting Evince does not help.

I'm sorry but some minutes ago when I was reading another evince bug report, Firefox showed the screenshot png incorrectly in the same way. Trying it again, it worked perfectly. So this is definitely NO evince bug.

Is this still occurring on Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin"? If it is, please attach the output of lspci -vvnn
