I just wanted to add that I've noticed a pattern to what sets off the extreme memory usage. If I open a file with embedded type 1 fonts, i.e. one generated by pdftex or the built-in generator in openoffice, it works just like it used to in feisty. But if I try to open a pdf that is scanned in or which uses bitmapped fonts, such as the one Evan linked to above, memory spikes and the machine becomes all but unusable.
Add my voice to the chorus of disagreement over the low priority. This is a serious bug -- at least if we consider evince a serious program. I used evince all the time in Feisty, but now it is all but useless for me except as a latex viewing program. If I want to open up a pdf that someone sends me or that I come across on the web, I have to resort to acrobat. -- memory leak in evince? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132612 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
