Title:
Evince sometimes fails to open under Wayland (Protocol error)
Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Under Ubuntu 17.10 I find that Evince (3.26.0-1) often fails to open
when I'm logged on using Wayland. There's no problem using X.
The error is very simple. I double click a PDF file in my file manager
and expect it to open in Evince (Document Viewer). And mostly that's
what happens, but after having opened a few files, it just stops
working for some files.
The error seldom occurs with the first PDF file I open after a reboot,
but after I've opened a few files, the error pops up, but only for
some files. Some files I can click and they open in Evince each time,
whereas other files will never open in Evince. They open fine in other
applications and under X.
When I try to open the file from the command line, I get the following
error message:
pinnerup@ergi:~$ evince Dropbox/Litteratur/Sprog/Græsk/Beekes\ \&\ van\ Beek\
–\ Etymological\ Dictionary\ of\ Greek.pdf
Gdk-Message: Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display.
If I rename the file (e.g. by adding the number "2" to the file name),
make a copy or move it to another directory, it opens without
problems. However, after some time the renamed or new file will fail
to open with the same error.
