First- my apologies to the authors of Evolution and GtkHtml for my
somewhat snarky tone in my bug report above. You guys don't deserve that
and you do great work.

I have filed this bug with GtkHtml upstream:

[Bug 422719] [NEW] evolution strips html anchors from links in outgoing mails

2009-09-01 Thread npgall
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

Ubuntu 9.04 x86_64
Evolution 2.26.1-0ubuntu2

The bug title says it all.

If I type (or paste) a link like this -
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html#exit(int) -
into a mail and I hit space after the link, Evolution will convert the
text to a hyperlink and when I send the mail the recipient will receive
it correctly. When the recipient clicks the link, their browser will
open the Runtime.html page and will jump to the exit(int) section in the
page correctly. The #exit(int) part of the URL is an html anchor which
tells the browser where to jump to in the target page.

However let's say I want the display text of the link in my mail to be
different from the associated url. Say I write to a colleague see this
method for details and I want this method to be underlined as a
hyperlink to the full url above. I type my message as normal, then I
highlight this method with the mouse and I click Insert menu -
Link... and it prompts me for the url. I paste the full url including
the anchor and click close. Everything looks fine so I send the mail.

Then my colleague asks me which section in the page I was talking about.
Evolution has stripped the #exit(int) anchor part from the url. When I
view the source of the mail I sent in my Sent folder, I see that
Evolution seems to have stripped the anchor from the link before even
sending it.

Evolution silently strips html anchors from links in outgoing mails,
when the display text of the link differs from the url.

As you might have guessed I'm a Java developer and my colleagues are
Java deveopers and this issue comes up all the time. It's really
annoying. I think it should be marked urgent. HTML anchors are of course
part of the HTML spec since the beginning, so Evolution should support
them.

To be honest, there must be some code in Evolution which is responsible
for transforming links like this. This code should throw an exception
on encountering content it can't handle, rather than skipping the
content. I would rather see an error message or even have Evolution
crash, than have Evolution silently corrupt my outgoing mails.

[Bug 379382] [NEW] Ubuntu 9.04 gnome-screenshot (Alt-Printscreen) black/blanks out top of windows in multi monitor xinerama

2009-05-22 Thread npgall
Public bug reported:

I have Ubuntu 9.04 configured in a multi-monitor Xinerama setup of a
centre monitor 1600x1200 and two smaller monitors 1280x1024 on either
side i.e. different resolutions across the screens.

In Ubuntu 9.04 gnome-screenshot now black/blanks-out the top 210 pixels
of any screenshot I take of an individual window (i.e. Alt-Printscreen)
regardless of which monitor I take it on. The number of pixels blanked
out seems dependent on the difference in the y-offset across the screens
as configured in xorg.conf. Taking a screenshot of the whole desktop
works properly. The problem did not occur at all in Ubuntu 8.10.

Here's the relevant extract from my xorg.conf:
Section ServerLayout
Identifier Layout0
Screen  0  ScreenCentre 1280 0
Screen  1  ScreenLeft 0 210
Screen  2  ScreenRight 2880 210
Option Xinerama On
EndSection

Note that the left and right monitors are slightly lower on my desk than
the centre monitor so I've set their y-offsets in xorg.conf to 210
pixels (from what otherwise should be 1200-1024=176 pixels) so that when
I drag windows between monitors the widows appear at the same level.

I'll attach a screenshot of the whole desktop to illustrate the xorg
offsets, and screenshots of individual windows which illustrate the
problem.

[Bug 248355] Re: Evince doesn't anti-alias graphics

2008-11-05 Thread npgall
Hi,

I can confirm that this bug is present for me in Evince (Document
Viewer) 2.24.1, which is using poppler 0.8.7 (cairo). I'm on Ubuntu
8.10.

This bug renders Evince useless for displaying PDFs which contain high
resolution graphs; graphs which I have to look at daily. Specifically
this is going to affect badly the display of PDF files which contain
images having a higher resolution than the screen on which they will be
displayed. Such rendering will lose information in the source image
entirely. PDFs which contain images having a lower resolution than the
screen on which they will be displayed will not be affected so badly; no
pixels will be ignored. But such enlarged images will not look smooth.

See attached screenshots of the same page in the same PDF rendered both
in Evince and in Adobe Reader 8 (which I've installed as a stop-gap).
Both are rendered at 100% zoom. Clearly the Evince-rendered graph is
badly broken. Parts of the line graph are not rendered at all.

Knowing a bit about image manipulation; this is because Evince is simply
displaying every nth pixel from the high-res source image on screen
verbatim (without interpolation), instead of displaying an average of
source pixel values around the sample points within the source image.
Evince ignores the pixels between sample points in the source image,
which in the case of the fine-detailed graph causes it to not render
parts of the graph at all.
