Bug#588794: evince-gtk: displays only half pages from postscript in full screen view

[Jonathan Nieder]

Package: evince-gtk
Version: 2.30.3-1

Hi all,

I have recently noticed a weird phenomenon viewing postscript
files with evince-gtk.  It is easier shown than explained, so
let me try to indicate a reproduction recipe.

1. wget http://netlib.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/doc/84/kp.ps.gz
2. gunzip kp.ps.gz
3. see kp.ps
4. Maximize window.
5. Press F5.

Expected result: see “Program design in the UNIX environment”,
full-screen view, with page centered in screen.

Actual result:


    black band     | white page                         | black band
    approx 1/5 of  |                                    | approx 1/2 of a screen
    a screen wide  |                                    | wide
    wide           | design in the UNIX environment     |
    ... etc

In other words, the page is shifted to the left, and a good chunk
of the page has been cut off.

If I hit escape to get out of the full screen view, it is back to
normal, but if I now hit page down, I see the _top_ of the page at the
bottom of the first displayed physical page and the _middle_ of the
second page at the top of the second displayed physical page.

Is this a known problem?  If not, where should I report it?
