+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #604136 +++ Created attachment 424158 [details] One page of a legal-size document written in Spanish showing the malformation at the bottom Description of problem: I'm not sure if "malformed" is the correct term but seems the most descriptive to me. Once in a while and while performing multiple-pages scanning, one or more of the scanned pages appear malformed, with the text displaced from one line to the next. I'll be attaching an example to better explain it. This issue happens at random and for no apparent reason. Sometimes it appears to affect two consecutive pages and then again once dozens of pages later. The severity of the problem also changes. The error does not show off in the preview pane of gscan2pdf but in the final job once you open it with evince of any other .pdf reader. If you scan again the compromised pages alone, the issue disappears. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.30 How reproducible: By scanning multiple pages and saving the document. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Scan multiple pages. 2. Save the document scanned. 3. Open the document in a .pdf reader. Actual results: Sometimes some one or more pages appear malformed. Expected results: An accurately scanned document. Additional info: The attachment provides a far better explanation. --- Additional comment from triage.org on 2011-06-02 06:46:00 EDT --- This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. 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 prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping --- Additional comment from ortizsantini on 2011-06-02 08:58:52 EDT --- I am changing the version to Fedora 15 since the bug is still present (as it was in Fedora 14). I can add the problem seems to be related to the scanning phase and not document saving, since I always resolve the issue by re-scanning the defective pages and substituting the defective ones. Then I re-save the document with the same name and usually (but not always) is fixed. --- Additional comment from bjohnson on 2012-03-18 22:43:44 EDT --- What is you setting for frontend in preferences? Does this occur with other frontends? --- Additional comment from ortizsantini on 2012-03-19 04:46:45 EDT --- The frontend is libsane-perl, which I guess is the default since I don't recall ever changing it. Should I try with every other listed? By the way, I'm having the same issue now on Fedora 16. --- Additional comment from bjohnson on 2012-03-20 00:13:09 EDT --- Yes, please try to reproduce with the other frontends and report back which ones you encounter the same problem with. --- Additional comment from ortizsantini on 2012-03-20 10:55:59 EDT --- I can report the same issue while using scanimage frontend. I will now switch to scanimage-perl. --- Additional comment from ortizsantini on 2012-04-09 09:58:04 EDT --- Hi, I can now tell the problem takes place with each and every frontend. I am now using Fedora 17, by the way. --- Additional comment from endoflife on 2012-08-07 16:11:05 EDT --- This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life.
