RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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.
