Description Joachim Frieben 2017-01-27 13:14:27 UTC
Description of problem:
When opening a PDF document with evince in a GNOME on Wayland guest session, then the indicated scaling value is shown to be 0% which is wrong. Moreover, buttons "+" and "-" have no effect. Finally, when choosing the scaling factor e.g. to 100% in the pull-down menu, then the document window is empty, and the scaling factor is shown to be -nan%.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.22.2-2.fc25

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a sample PDF document.
2. Check indicated scaling factor.
3. Try "+" and "-" buttons.
4. Pick scaling 100% in the pull-down menu.

Actual results:
Symptoms described above appear one after another.

Expected results:
Evince behaves as expected.

Additional info:
1. Evince behaves correctly in a GNOME on Wayland host session.
2. Evince behaves correctly in a GNOME on Xorg guest session.

Comment 3 Christian Stadelmann 2017-01-28 11:23:58 UTC
All of that works fine for me with several different documents with evince-3.22.1-3.fc25.x86_64 and gnome-shell-3.22.2-2.fc25.x86_64, gtk3-3.22.7-1.fc25.x86_64, poppler-glib-0.45.0-2.fc25.x86_64.

Is this behavior special to your PDF document or is it present for all documents?

If this bug affects just one PDF document (or a series of PDF documents created by the same application), Can you please upload one of these documents?

If this bug affects all your PDF documents, can you please provide more info on your system? What's your graphics driver? What's your version(s) of the packages I listed above? Have you tried reinstalling those packages? Do you get any log messages from evince (try `$ evince` from command line, make sure to terminate all other evince instances before)? Does this bug also happen with `$ GDK_BACKEND=x11 evince`?

I was talking about a fully updated Fedora 25 system, thus including the same versions that you enumerate. Are you aware that I was talking about a virtual guest session, thus launching evince in a Fedora 25 GNOME on Wayland session running inside GNOME Boxes? In that case, the video driver is usually the virtual QXL driver, and that is indeed the one that I am using.
This issue is quite general and affects any PDF document that I have tried so far.

Ok, that explains the different behavior. I'm running Fedora 25 with GNOME on wayland on Intel hardware, not inside libvirt/QXL.

I also observe this behavior for Evince but with AMD graphics hardware. See [1] for more details. I reported it against GNOME mutter since I did not observe this behavior when using NVIDIA graphics on a GNOME Wayland session. I can confirm that I'm still seeing this issue on F26 with AMD graphics and

gnome-shell-3.24.3-1.fc26.x86_64
mutter-3.24.4-1.fc26.x86_64

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 18:55:52 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:39:14 UTC
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 9 Joachim Frieben 2018-03-06 09:06:57 UTC
Issue is still present for all of Fedora 26, 27, and 28.

Comment 11 Matthew Krupcale 2018-05-03 16:19:53 UTC
The issue I mentioned previously affecting AMD graphics hardware[1] on GNOME 3.22 seems to have been resolved after upgrading to F28. As I state in that bug report, I'm not entirely sure which component(s) were responsible for the fix on my hardware.

I can't comment on this issue regarding GNOME on Wayland guest session using libvirt/QXL, although comment #9 indicates that it may still be an issue on F28.
