STDERR output of Evince when viewing the PDF file

Description of problem:
Rendering of a particular PDF [1] is broken, page 95 and some following pages are grey, and numerous UI elements disappear (become grey) as well.

[1] https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_JBoss_BPM_Suite/6.3/pdf/Administration_And_Configuration_Guide/Red_Hat_JBoss_BPM_Suite-6.3-Administration_And_Configuration_Guide-en-US.pdf

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evince-3.14.2-5.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download [1]
2. Open in Evince
3. Scroll to page 95

Actual results:
Page is not rendered (grey area shown instead), Evince UI falls apart (becomes grey as well).

Expected results:
Page is rendered properly, Evince UI doesn't fall apart.

Additional info:
This behaviour is reproducible in Evince on Fedora 24 as well. qpdfview or pdf.js (Firefox) do not exhibit this behaviour.

STDERR output of Evince attached.

Felipe, could you have a look at this? Thanks

Comment 4 Caolan McNamara 2017-01-16 11:24:31 UTC
I can't reproduce this with Original log mentions insufficient memory errors. Is this still reproducible by anyone with >= 3.14.2-17.el7 ?

Comment 5 David van Balen 2017-01-16 14:15:23 UTC
I think the document that is linked to in the original bug report has been re-generated since the bug was filed. I can reproduce on evince-3.20.1-2.fc24 with the document that I am about to attach to this bug.

If I click on Chapter 12 in the TOC on the left and start scrolling, I see the issue pretty quickly.

Comment 8 Marek Kašík 2018-04-05 14:40:47 UTC
Hi,

I've prepared a patch for this and attached it to upstream bugzilla. Lets wait on upstream's decision about it.

I am also affected by this bug in RHEL Desktop 7.5. When viewing large PDF files with Evince, screen artefacts appear and the pages are not rendered properly. My STDERR output is identical to the one described by Tomas.

I am unable to read the RHEL 7 System Administration Guide (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/pdf/system_administrators_guide/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-7-System_Administrators_Guide-en-US.pdf).

So Marku any progress upstream?

Comment 12 Marek Kašík 2018-07-30 12:02:07 UTC
No progress yet. Although the patch looks simple it is not and I would like to get upstream's approval before I'll push it into RHEL.
I'll ask them for review. I'm going to push the patch to Fedora in between.
