Description Dmitry 2011-04-27 21:02:39 UTC
Version:           0.12.2 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

I'm experiencing very unpleasant bug in okular which leads to X11 session hang up in response to attempt of scrolling pdf or djvu document.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
I have no exact recepie to reproduce this. It happens with variety of djvu documents (which i probably shouldn't post here due to copyright laws). The only regularity i have found is that freeze happens in the moment i'm pressing page up/down to scroll the page.

Actual Results:  
X11 hang ups or working extremely slowly. The disk usage led is blinking constantly. I've tried to login in text mode, but couldn't wait till my zsh session is loaded after I login/password is finally typed in. Ctrl-Alt-Backpase is the only thing helping me this case.


The last accident impelled me to post this bug is that this time okular freezed my system completely (capslock indicator stopped to switch).
This is the file i was browsing that moment
http://mmcs.sfedu.ru/~ulysses/IT/Haskell/papers/why-haskell-censored.pdf
it was opened in presentation mode (not like all previous documents).

Also incidentally faced exactly the same bug while using another computer with KDE4. I'm not shure, but i think it was running Fedora.

Is it possible that you just have too few memory and your system is running out of RAM?
Comment 2 Davor Cubranic 2011-05-08 07:16:00 UTC
I opened the file and scrolled through it -- no lockups here. But there could be some memory issues if you're RAM is tight, though. As I was reading the file you sent, I had 'top' running: rekonq's resident memory (RES column) went from ~160M to 300M as I paged through the file. When I closed the tab it went back to ~150M right away.

Maybe this is the problem. I remember running like two or three okular
instances and firefox that times (i have 2gb ram and no swap). And there was
chromium with dosens of opened tabs on that desktop (which seemed to be very
powerfull). Then it is strange that high memory consumption leads to such
hangups. Is it something like elusive 12309 thing or just okular bug?
Comment 4 Fabio D'Urso 2014-05-08 13:40:43 UTC
Can you still reproduce this bug with Okular >= 0.19.0 ( KDE >= 4.13.0 )?
We have changed some things about memory management since then.
Thanks for caring about Okular :)

Thank you all for you kind support. I'm sure the original problem has gone away by now, so this can be closed.
