Evince crashes when selecting text then dragging it
Evince crashes for me when selecting text, then dragging it within Evince. This happens regardless of the specific PDF being viewed, but https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw8ben.pdf would be the most recent example I’ve seen this happen.
Steps to reproduce
- Open any PDF file in Evince, either directly or by running it without arguments then clicking on a Recent file.
- Mark/Select some text (no matter whether via double click or dragging)
- Hold the mouse on the selected text, then drag it. Mouse pointer becomes Drag’n’drop cursor.
- Release the mouse button, with the cursor within the Evince window. The window will immediately close. (SIGABRT is received – see comments with program output and stack trace.)
Dragging something into Evince, or dragging the text out of Evince doesn’t seem to have an effect, but the steps above work for me every time.
System specifics
- Distro: Arch Linux (5.3.7-arch1-1-ARCH)
- Evince version: 3.34.1-1
- Glib2 version: 2.62.1-1
- Gtk3 version: 1:3.24.12-1
Please tell me if you need any more information to help get to the bottom of this. Many thanks in adavnce, in any case!
