Occasional crash upon highlighting with ctrl-H
Occasionally, highlighting text using ctrl-H crashes evince using a segmentation fault. Conditions that seem to correlate (but not certain if they are causally related) are: having evince open for quite a while (a few hours), and having open multiple views on the same file (in separate windows). It also only seems to ever happen with the first highlight attempt in a session; I have never experienced a crash after a highlight already succeeded.
This time it occurred with this PDF file, yielding this core dump.
System:
-
evince --version
yieldsGNOME Document Viewer 42.3
- Arch linux (evince package version
42.3-1
) - architecture x86_64 (intel)
I am aware this is probably a not particularly helpful bug report (sorry), but I hope that the core dump is insightful to people who know the codebase.
Thanks for great work, evince is a best-in-class application.
