Package: simple-scan
Found: 3.38.1-1
Severity: grave

Hi,

Starting earlier today (between scans) simple-scan on bullseye became
unable to save B&W text scans properly. Now they are saved as
gibberish.

It is possible the files are being saved in a format not understood by
my PDF reader, but I could not find a common reader that worked: I
tried evince, muPDF, gscan2pdf, an old trial version of Master PDF
Editor, and GIMP and Inkscape. Only LibreOffice Draw got it right.

In accordance with the recommendations here [1] I marked the bug
'grave' because I lost data because of it (or so it seemed when I
wrote). The bug is also somewhat treacherous: The image on the screen
looks fine. One has to open the saved file to see the issue.

Thanks for simple-scan! It's a great and best-in-class program!

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
