Evince crashes when reloading PDF document in presentation mode
Summary
A document (e.g., presentation slides) shown in presentation mode crashes on reloading as soon as the document has been modified externally. Only happens in presentation mode, the document is correctly reloaded in other cases. This happens for me 100% reproducibly (I think since GNOME 45, but I am not very sure about that). Older versions of evince didn't have the problem.
Description
- Compile the attached LaTeX beamer document (
pdflatex evince-fs-bug
) and open the resulting PDF with evince. It should automatically open in presentation mode. - Keep the PDF open and change something in the LaTeX source (e.g.,
First framed
->First frame
) - Compile again with LaTeX (
pdflatex evince-fs-bug
) while the PDF is open (still in presentation mode)
=> While attempting to reload the modified PDF, evince crashes
