The main machine I'm working with was originally a from-scratch jaunty
install that was upgraded to karmic using the update manager. Nothing
special installed there, only packages that are in the default
repository. I'll try on some other machines with the karmic live CD to
see if I can reproduce it anywhere else. (Will probably take a few days,
though.)
In case it helps for reproducing this, I've found in the past that
evince misbehaved more often when I pressed keys *quickly* rather than
waiting after each keypress, suggesting that there might be some sort of
timing issue or race condition involved. For example, I get problems
much more frequently if I press PageDown and then *very very quickly*
PageUp. Having said that, sometimes the problem does show up even when I
do things very slowly.
In my experience, once a given document shows display faults for the
first time, they tend to pop up regularly in the future for that
document, even if I close and reopen evince. Is there some sort of
information cached between evince runs that I can delete to see if that
makes a difference?
Regarding evince settings, it seems to be important that "Continuous"
and "Presentation" are switched *off* and that "Best Fit" is switched
on, or at least that the current zoom factor displays a full page
without scrolling. All other settings ("Toolbar", "Side Pane",
"Fullscreen", "Dual") don't seem to matter; I can get the display
problems with them on or off. Having said that, I think I've seen
problems more frequently with the Side Pane enabled.
