I've had this same problem for at least several weeks. In addition, evince is very slow to close. If I click the "close" window button it takes a good several seconds, sometimes more than 10s, for the window to close. Often that meas that a warning pop-up appears saying that evince is "unresponsive. However, if I just wait a few more seconds evince always tend close eventually.
As mentioned above, the startup and close slowness seems intermittent. It sometimes occurs, sometimes not, even on the same document. CPU usage seems unaffected during these mini-freezes. -- After last updates evince become very slow to open PDF documents https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
