Erik, under what Ubuntu release (dapper, edgy?) and libpoppler versions was this unreproducible for you?
I'm on dapper with the latest updates (evince 0.5.2-0ubuntu3, libpoppler1 0.5.1-0ubuntu7) and can still produce a crash - although it seemed to take a little more fiddling around than it did originally (if I remember correctly). I will try to apply the patch, suggested by Daniel, to Dapper's libpoppler, when I get some time... -- Evince crashes upon attempting to select text, for certain PDF(s) https://launchpad.net/bugs/50697 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
