Created attachment 1211475 [details] Broken thumbnails Description of problem: I tested this only on Wayland. When you open a PDF document and scroll in the thumbnail view, it gets immediately white and it takes approximately 1 minute to reload. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.20.1 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 0. Open a PDF document. 1. Just scroll in the thumbnail view. 2. The thumbnails on the left gets resetted. It takes approx. 1 minute to reload the thumbnails 3. Scroll again in the thumbnail view --> Thumbnail gets resetted. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Happens also to me with evince 3.20.1 on Gnome 3 Classic and Cinnamon. Scrolling again in the thumbnail view does not help for me even after 1 minute. What helps me is moving mouse cursor over border between side pane with thumbnails and document view (that border, which allow to resize both of these areas).
I also experience this, at least since fedora 24.
Still valid in f25 and evince 3.22.1
warning while starting evince from cli: Gtk-WARNING **: Allocating size to EvSidebar 0x55daf3e096c0 without calling gtk_widget_get_preferred_width/height(). How does the code know the size to allocate?
warning is not relevant to reported problem FWIW
I also experience this with 3.22.1 under Arch Linux. If I scroll very slowly then it works ok, but if I scroll quickly then the thumbnails go white and never return. As Thomas Hudziec said moving the cursor to the resize bar causes them to reappear (but sluggy).
This bug is duplicate of upstream bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691448 and somewhat related to upstream bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342110 both of which I've just send new patches to, they fix the clunky scrolling and the thumbnails regeneration respectively. Testing of those patches and reporting feedback on their bugzilla page is much appreciated. Thank you!
Let's move this to upstream then.
