(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kghostview Version: 0.13.1 (using KDE 3.0.1 ) Severity: normal Installed from: Mandrake RPMs Compiler: gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.2 2.96-0.76mdk) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-6mdk OS/Compiler notes: Hi I've seen other similiar bug reports about this. The last one I read was closed with the promise to fix it for KDE3. I'm using KDE 3.0.1 and still have the following problem: kghostview displays a landscape pdf file in portrait without the ability to change its orientation (if you try this the text also rotates together with the page orientation: still a cutoff text). When I try 'gs -sDEVICE=x11 myfile.pdf' the page gets displayed correctly. The version of gs I am using is 6.53. My guess is that kghostview tries to compensate for a bug in earlier versions of gs. Is this correct? How soon can you provide a solution? Thanks Z. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org) (Called from KBugReport dialog. Fields KDE Version manually changed)
