Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evince
When I try to open multiple PDF documents in Evince Document Viewer (the default app), after several documents are open, Evince fails to load the next one. This always happens, but the hang point (number of docs) depends on the size of the docs. Here are the steps I used to produce the "bug" just now: 1. check system monitor memory. It shows 1.2 GiB used of 3.0 GiB (and no swap memory used out of 3.4 GiB). 2. Open 5 PDF documents. No problems. 3. Open the 6th PDF. It fails to load. No error is shown, but Evince just shows me a blank window. 4. check system monitor again. It shows 1.4 GiB used of 3.0 GiB (and still no swap memory used out of 3.4 GiB). 5. if I close a previously opened PDF document, I can open the 6th one that would not open before. So it is not a problem with a specific PDF document. It appears to be a problem with how many large documents I have open. The PDF files in this test were more than 1 MB each (and largest was 11 MB). I repeated the test with smaller PDF documents (all under 200k) and I was able to open 8 without problems and I probably could have opened more. But eventually, Evince will hang as described above. I know this from past experience. Any ideas about how to troubleshoot this? I'm running Hardy 32 bit.
