** Description changed: 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 uptime the renamed or new file will often fail to - open with the same error. + However, after some time the renamed or new file will fail to open with + the same error.
