I have the same problem (Xubuntu Karmic). It seems to me that evince mainly freezes the system when zooming large files or files that are not yet completely loaded.
Sebastien (comment #4): How long time should I give the system to answer your question? Is a couple of minutes enough? (this did not help) I never get apport crash reports (I'm not sure it is enabled, but maybe it's also because of the system locking up totally). -- System freezes reproducibly when zooming in evince https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/472244 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
