As I said, it is an issue in the graphic driver. what it is in particular? I have no clue. Until gtk+ started to use them, it seems nobody got into those issues. You can try to use something else, wait until the graphic driver gets fixed, report the bug upstream. Maybe the gtk+ guys have a better idea of which bug you are triggering, but I doubt it is gtk+. -- Germán Poo-Caamaño http://calcifer.org/ _______________________________________________ evince-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evince-list
