Description Michael Meier 2009-12-20 23:42:24 UTC
Version:           4.4 beta2 (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 4.4.1 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Recent versions of okular exhibit the following bug: if "fit width" mode is off when rendering DVI files, the pages seem to get cropped. Hard to explain, but the screenshot explains it.

The effect can be even stronger than in the attached screenshot with some pages rendered at 50% or less of the width than the previous page, giving a very odd-looking result. 

It might have something to do with the width of the actual text on each page. As you can see on the screenshot, the actual width of the page rendered on the right size is proportional to the width of the yellow box for each thumbnail.

I am using Gentoo with KDE compiled from SVN, most recent version is from today (close to 4.4 beta2). Qt version is 4.6.0.

Does not occur after converting the document to PDF.

The DVI file used for the screenshot has been taken from http://ctan.binkerton.com/ctan.php?filename=language/german/gerdoc.dvi but the bug also occurs with my own DVI files.

Works for me, can anyone else reproduce?
Comment 3 Luigi Toscano 2009-12-21 01:25:13 UTC
I can see the same effect if I enable "View" -> "Trim Margins". Can you please check the status of that option?
Comment 4 Michael Meier 2009-12-21 01:41:30 UTC
Thanks, so it's not a bug but a feature! Disabling "trim margins" does the trick.
