Created attachment 315468 [details] technical pdf I downloaded from web to read .... Description of problem:evince mis-displays PDF file, uses whole screen (overlays *whole* desktop), I can't see wm-bar to exit app, must login remotely & kill the process Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):2.22.2-1.fc9 How reproducible: may be difficult, I tend to stay logged in for long periods (weeks) & this may be related. I attach a pdf which gave the symptom for me .... I invoked evince from the shell prompt & got the above symptom. When I went back & tried another pdf which worked OK, it now gives symptom as well .... Steps to Reproduce: open attached pdf under evince from shell prompt from rxvt shell under gnome desktop. see if you see symptoms :-/ .... 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I am having a similar problem, but it seems to be related to the browser plugin in Firefox. That is, if I have previously opened a PDF in firefox (using the browser plugin through mozplugger), trying to open one outside of Firefox causes this problem.
FWIW, this happened to me w/o the PDF plugin for FireFox :-/ (still don't have it, AAMOF) ....
This is still present on Fedora 10, please update the Version: tag. When using a dual-head setup, evince even spans _both_ monitors, which is _very_ ugly.
I don't think that the original report involved firefox. The reports involving firefox probably are instances of this problem: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456475 In particular, see my comment #7 that explains how multiple evince invocations behave.

This bug is still in Fedora 10. How can I change this report to apply to 10?
Sorry, I was confused. It is this bug (probably related) that still exists in Fedora 10: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456475 Since that one was reported against 10, there is no problem closing this bug as WONTFIX.
This is *NOT* related to firefox, it happens when evince is invoked from the CLI directly, no firefox involved. Close it if you like, but don't confuse this w/ the above mentioned firefox/evince bug :-) ....
I just upgraded to FC11 64-bit this A.M., & this new evince does *NOT* show this buggy behavior :-). I guess you got this one after all, well done.
I still quite often (but not always) see this bug in F11/x86_64 (evince-2.26.1-1.fc11.x86_64). When clicking to a PDF link from Galeon, it sometimes displays the window spanning over both of my screens. This sometimes happens even when displaying a PDF from the command line. Evince probably tries to remember the mode in which it has been previously run, and maybe a per-PDF-file window dimensions, so when running it in fullscreen mode and exiting it, the new document then opens in the browser also in fullscreen mode. But even the fullscreen mode is sometimes handled incorrectly - for example, when I have previously opened a landscape-oriented PDF presentation, exited evince, and clicked to the portrait-oriented PDF from the browser, evince then comes up in the fullscreen mode (w/o WM decorations, and with "leave fullscreen mode" button), but covering only 2/3 of horizontal space of the screen. I still do not see a clear pattern here, but the problem is definitely present in F11 as well. William, can you double-check that the problem is really gone on your side?
I only did a single spot check (from CLI on a PDF file shortly after install & reboot) & it worked AOK, definitely *NOT* a thorough & systematic check out, sorry :-(. I have installed & gotten used to using xpdf, so I don't use evince as much as I used to. Your description of its behavior definitely fits my recollections, so I would very comfortably defer to your observations.
Still present in F12 - sometimes it opens the window spanning both desktops so large that its decorations are not displayed. evince-2.28.1-5.fc12.x86_64 poppler-0.12.1-3.fc12.x86_64 Please somebody change the Version: tag to Fedora 12, I don't have permissions to do this.

The bug is still present in F19, reopening. evince-3.8.3-1.fc19.x86_64 poppler-0.22.1-4.fc19.x86_64
The PDF has "/PageMode /FullScreen" in it which means that it should be shown fullscreen. Esc key allows me to quit the fullscreen mode. I have F21 here and the evince doesn't span both monitors. Since the original description actually agrees with PDF specifications I'm closing this. Regards Marek
Well it might be fixed in F21 (not yet released), but your NOTABUG is definitely wrong. I have just tried to open a random PDF found in my home directory (a schematics drawing with A2 paper size), and evince did indeed span both monitors and more, even though the document itsef was not marked fullscreen. Unlike the PDF linked to this bug, my PDF is not displayed fullscreen, it has window decorations and everything, but the window is about twice as wide as a single screen and a bit higher than the screen height. poppler-0.24.3-3.fc20.x86_64 evince-3.10.3-1.fc20.x86_64 I have probably discovered how to reproduce it: use the attached LaTeX source, or the attached PDF created from it with pdflatex. Save it, run "evince <filename>.pdf". On my F20 system, it opens the window about 3230x1200 pixels big. I have two monitors side by side, 1600x1200 each. Subtract the xfce panels (about 48 pixels high) and the window decorations, and the maximum window size used by any sane application should be about 1580x1140. The interesting thing is, that after I close the evince window (keeping it at its original geometry) and open a new evince with the same PDF, the new window is about 1500x999, which fits the single monitor. Subsequently opening the same file again and again yields the same window size 1500x999. So apparently only the first time the PDF (of the same geometry?) is opened, it spans more than one monitor sometimes. Looking at strace of evince, it opens $HOME/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home and .../home-1755c155.log. I have tried to move these files to /tmp/, and after that the subsequent "evince <filename>.pdf" opens too big window again. So maybe it is something with gvfs caching and incorrectly guessing the window size the first time? Should I reopen the bug or create a new one?

Hi, I've reopened this one. I'll look at it tomorrow. Thank you for the info Marek
Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce this on F21 and I don't have a machine with F20 right now. I'll check it again if I'll get to a F20 machine.

The problem described in comment #26 is still present on F20. Marek, did you manage to reproduce it?
Hi, I've tried to reproduce it today but unsuccessfully. Which icon does the window has in its upper right corner? Is it the one offering maximization of the window or restoration of its unmaximized size?
Well, I use sawfish as my window manager, and it has the same icons both for maximized and normal windows :-) However, when I click on the leftmost window decorations button, I get the pull-down menu with window options, and the second option reads "Unmaximize" (which only maximized windows have, other windows have "Maximize" here). So I would guess the evince window is created with the "maximized" attribute in WM_HINTS or somewhere.
