Description Kenny Fairweather 2014-04-15 10:30:09 UTC
Any PDF I open has the page set to landscape orientation regardless of the orientation set in the document. All the text is subsequently stretched to fit landscape mode, making reading difficult.

Other PDF viewers (xpdf, gpdfview) don't show this issue. As xpdf is fine, I suspect it isn't an issue with poppler.

There doesn't appear to be any option to force page orientation. View->Page Size is greyed out.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any pdf document in Okular
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
PDF is rendered with pages in landscape orientation and text stretched to fit

Expected Results:  
Render the page in the orientation specified in the document
Comment 1 Kenny Fairweather 2014-04-15 15:46:54 UTC
I have some further analysis to add.

I have a 3 screen setup with differing aspect ratios (a 1080p laptop and two regular 1600x1200 external monitors). When I open the file from a window on the laptop (from konsole, Dolphin etc.), the PDF is rendered correctly. When I open from something in the external monitors, the PDF is incorrectly rendered, making the page look landscape.

Perhaps Okular is using a system-wide parameter for aspect ratio and using this to render?
Comment 2 Albert Astals Cid 2014-04-15 15:55:45 UTC
I knew i should not accept the patch to use the DPI of the screen ^_^
Comment 3 Albert Astals Cid 2014-04-15 15:57:59 UTC
Eugene this looks like it may be related to your patch. Can you have a look?
Comment 4 Eugene Shalygin 2014-04-15 16:05:39 UTC
May we get outputs from xrandr and "kscreen-console bug", please? Could you, please, check that commands xrandr and "kscreen-console" show identical and correct DPI information about your screens? I.e. screens sizes in mm and pixels.
Comment 5 Eugene Shalygin 2014-04-15 16:06:13 UTC
No, our patch is the best one! ;)

Yes, it does use DPI of the current screen when renders PDF. Could you please make the following test: open Okular window on one screen, move completely to others and refresh it (File/Reload or F5 in default configuration). Does the window become distorted?

xrandr and kscreen-console appear to be correct. Note, both external monitors are acting as one large monitor, as you can see from the output below. Perhaps this is confusing something?

Comment 9 Albert Astals Cid 2014-04-15 19:27:59 UTC
Hmmm, i'm not so sure about the kscreen values being correct

Two screens
MMSize:  QSize(367, 275) 
Size:  QSize(3200, 1200) 

laptop screen
MMSize:  QSize(309, 173) 
Size:  QSize(1920, 1080) 

This would mean that each of your 1600x1200 screen is only 183mmx275mm which would mean they are taller than higher, no?
Comment 10 Albert Astals Cid 2014-04-15 19:28:11 UTC

Ah yes, I see what you mean. It looks like the dimensions are for each individual screen, not the combined.
Interestingly, I've just measured the monitors are they are more like 405x305 MM. The laptop size is correct though.
Comment 12 Eugene Shalygin 2014-04-16 08:52:22 UTC
Or yes, I was to post the same question:

No, not everything is correct. Dell 2001FP is 20'' 1600x1200 screen. In your xrandr (and therefore kscreen) output the physical size of your combined external screen is 367mm x 275mm, that results in 458.6 mm (18'') diagonal. I.e. this is the size of one screen, perhaps?

So, then the question is: how did you setup this external screen that resulted in its incorrect size?
Comment 13 Kenny Fairweather 2014-04-16 09:20:53 UTC
(In reply to comment #12)
I think we cross-posted there :)
405x305 MM gives about 507MM diagonal, so the kscreen output looks plain wrong.
The EDID Info does give approx. correct dimensions. if it is in CMs:
        Width:  41                                                                                                                                                                                                              
        Height:  31 

> So, then the question is: how did you setup this external screen that

Some background: I'm using a laptop with a Haswell processor (Dell Latitude E7440), which now supports 3 monitors. The ability to drive the external monitors in dualhead mode has been lost - this is a known issue using laptops with Haswell graphics & docking stations with two external monitors (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72795).

Do you think this is a bug with libkscreen, rather than Okular?
Comment 14 Eugene Shalygin 2014-04-16 09:46:14 UTC
kscreen simply gets the size from xrandr, and xrandr in your example also shows the same wrong size: 
DP1 connected primary 3200x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 367mm x 275mm

Maybe you can override this size in your X config so we can understand is this indeed the source of the problem?

Those values fom EDID must be bytes 21--22 (sizes in cm). We prefer sizes in mm for DPI calculations. These numbers come to xrandr, as I understand, from EDID Detailed Timing Descriptor.

Ups, sorry. This will not help. I wrote the code to ignore X DPI values by myself :)
Comment 16 Eugene Shalygin 2014-04-16 09:50:31 UTC
But you can use --fbmm or --dpi switches of xrandr to set the correct size
Comment 17 Kenny Fairweather 2014-04-16 10:24:37 UTC
(In reply to comment #16)
> But you can use --fbmm or --dpi switches of xrandr to set the correct size

Tried: 
xrandr --output DP1 --fbmm 405x305

The screen flashes briefly, but xrandr -q shows that the dimensions haven't changed. Either I'm being a noob driving xrandr, or it is ignoring whatever I enter for the dimensions.
Comment 18 Eugene Shalygin 2014-04-16 11:04:45 UTC
OK. It seems like either EDID needs to be fixed, or we need a workaround...

I will investigate solution with EDID. For a workaround we can try to compare sizes from EDID (cm) and extended EDID (mm). How to decide which ones are wrong? Maybe it is simplier to get users with buggy EDIDs an option to ignore them, to overwrite scren size? Perhaps this even can be done in kscreen? 
Albert?
Comment 19 Albert Astals Cid 2014-04-16 21:34:43 UTC
Is kscreen providing to us both the size in cm and in mm? I couldn't see it.

If so if size cm and size mm do not return the same values (or comparable), we should just bail out and use the old code.

Also it would be good if kscreen added some kind of "isGood" bool that did this check but if we can just do it ourselves that'd be just "extra".
Comment 20 Eugene Shalygin 2014-04-17 10:01:57 UTC
KScreen provides decoded EDID via output->edid(), with width and height (in cm). I support the proposed solution for Okualr, but do not think that isGood() or something makes sence for KSCreen since there might be any errors in EDIDs (not only size related, I mean) and it is not clear how to check and thud such function can not be considered reliable.
Comment 21 Albert Astals Cid 2014-04-18 23:10:22 UTC
Ok, where's the patch? ;-)
Comment 22 Eugene Shalygin 2014-04-19 11:31:18 UTC
I've made these trivial changes, but during the testing I found that my external screen is also suffering from this problem (xrandr reports incorrect size in mm, but correct in cm). I'm pretty sure that it was not the case before. On Tuesday I will have an access to my office  screen and will check with it. Therefore for me the situatuin seems to be a bit more complicated than just an incorrect EDID problem

so you basically say the patch in comment #23 will make it stop working for you?

Also why

+                {
+                    res.transpose();
+                }

?
Comment 26 Eugene Shalygin 2014-04-20 22:32:05 UTC
Yes, I have several external screens (one of them at home, rest at office). Some of them have invalid EDIDs. I thought that my home one is correct, but it turned out that it is not.

 if (!selectedOutput->isHorizontal()) checks for vertical screen. I have not found where Okular accounts for vertical orientation.

So the question is, do we still want to check for invalid EDIDs? There's another way we can let the user fix his stuff?

And what does this have to do with this bug?

Alex, Dan, I'd appreciate your input here in what to do in cases where kscreen is reporting the wrong size for a screen.

trivial check for not self-consistant EDIDs v2

Got hands on a screen with correct EDID and fixed the patch (signed/unsgined arithmetic). Now it works as it has to.

However, now I think that it maybe would be better to use screen size in cm rather then ignore it completetly. Maybe we can use an environemnt variable or settings option to disable DPI detection? Or option to set it (autodetection/user specified value)? BTW, Adobe Reader has it.
Comment 30 Albert Astals Cid 2014-04-23 20:09:59 UTC
I still don't understand the isHorizontal part, either leave it out, or explain why it is there better. And you should really be using reviewboard for patches, makes all this much easier.

"isHorizontal part" checks for screen, rotated into portrait orientation. 
I currently see two possible solutions:
1. Assume some level of precision in DPI determination, check sizes in mm and cm, if they match or size in cm gives DPI with required presicion use it, ignore xrandr results otherwise. This level could be, say, 10%, then screen of 50 cm or larger gives this precision when we know rounded to cm size only. 
2. Additionally add UI option to override results of DPI detection, as Adobe sofwre does. There we can show results of detection (and screen sizes to make it easier for user to understand where does the number comes from).
Which one would you choose?
Comment 33 Eugene Shalygin 2014-04-30 11:05:58 UTC
Pardon, in the example with precision 50 cm results in 1%, of course
Comment 34 Albert Astals Cid 2014-05-01 22:40:48 UTC
Ok, now i understand the patch. I'm going to commit it and close the bug. If you want to work in a way for people to be able to override the dpi in the config dialog as advanced option i think we could also take that, i guess it depends on the number of broken edids/dpi configs around.

Comment 38 Stefan Werner 2014-05-04 21:10:58 UTC
Hi there! Just tried your patched utils.cpp with Okular 4.13 (both with -DWITH_LibKScreen=OFF and ON) and it does not make any difference. I also have a dual monitor setup on Nvidia, is there any data I can provide?
Comment 39 Albert Astals Cid 2014-05-04 21:39:19 UTC
-DWITH_LibKScreen=OFF should totally work I'm going to guess that you're not compiling it correctly. Can you describe what you are doing?
Comment 40 Stefan Werner 2014-05-04 21:58:24 UTC
After some testing I guess this is a slightly different problem (although probably related)

Without the patch I was running
cmake --no-warn-unused-cli -C /var/tmp/portage/kde-base/okular-4.13.0/work/okular-4.13.0_build/gentoo_common_config.cmake -G Unix Makefiles -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DKDE4_BUILD_TESTS=OFF -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DSYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR=/etc -DWITH_chm=ON -DWITH_CHM=ON -DWITH_Chm=ON -DWITH_QCA2=ON -DWITH_DjVuLibre=ON -DWITH_LibKScreen=OFF -DWITH_EPub=ON -DWITH_jpeg=ON -DWITH_JPEG=ON -DWITH_Jpeg=ON -DWITH_QMobiPocket=OFF -DWITH_LibSpectre=ON -DWITH_PopplerQt4=ON -DWITH_Poppler=ON -DWITH_tiff=ON -DWITH_TIFF=ON -DWITH_Tiff=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Gentoo -DCMAKE_INSTALL_DO_STRIP=OFF -DCMAKE_USER_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE=/var/tmp/portage/kde-base/okular-4.13.0/work/okular-4.13.0_build/gentoo_rules.cmake  /var/tmp/portage/kde-base/okular-4.13.0/work/okular-4.13.0

and got optional
LibKScreen (1.0.2 or higher)  <https://projects.kde.org/projects/kdereview/libkscreen>
reported as not installed because - well - it was not installed ;)

So I installed libkscreen and compiled again: same result as expected.

Then I tried again with -DWITH_LibKScreen=ON and it works as expected (still without the patch!). I might have to add this this problem occurred after the update from 4.12 to 4.13.

persists in 4.13.1 and 0.19.1,
two nvidia cards, 3 monitors, 2 landscape, proprietary driver
Comment 42 Eugene Shalygin 2014-05-14 15:30:06 UTC
Do you mean the Okular part of the bug, i.e. that it does not detect incorrect EDIDs? Anyway, could you provide outpur of "kscreen-console bug" command, please?

libkscreen is 1.0.4-1.1
Comment 48 Albert Astals Cid 2014-05-14 18:35:04 UTC

stretched pages in landscape mode display
Comment 50 Albert Astals Cid 2014-05-14 20:03:55 UTC
What do you mean with "landscape mode display"?

Can you please run kdebugdialog, enable all the output the bug for okular, then run okular and attach the output you get in this bug?
Comment 51 Sean Chu 2014-05-15 12:19:48 UTC
I mean rotating two of my separate x-screens in 'nvidia-settings'

I got the message when opening a pdf:

Comment 52 Albert Astals Cid 2014-05-15 18:16:16 UTC
Hmmm, ok, this is a bit harder than i thought to debug, would you be able to try a custom .deb built with some more debug information?
Comment 53 Sean Chu 2014-05-15 18:51:03 UTC
sure but I am using opensuse so a .rpm package would be easier
Comment 54 Albert Astals Cid 2014-05-15 19:14:28 UTC
Sorry i can't provide an opensuse package, i didn't realize you were not the original reporter of the bug. So we'll either have to wait for 4.13.2 to include the new debug output I need and then land the fix in 4.13.3 or you'll have to compile okular yourself. 

Do you see yourself able to follow the instructions at the "Okular" section of http://okular.kde.org/download.php ?
Comment 55 Sean Chu 2014-05-16 14:16:05 UTC
I will wait for 4.13.2 then, thanks
Comment 56 Sean Chu 2014-05-22 16:24:29 UTC
seems xinerama-related, I turned off xinerama and it works fine.
Comment 57 Sean Chu 2014-05-22 17:36:24 UTC
any patch to deal with xinerama?
Comment 58 Albert Astals Cid 2014-05-23 18:07:21 UTC
Well, you said you can't test a patch, and now you're asking for one? I'm confused.
Comment 59 Sean Chu 2014-05-23 18:20:31 UTC
Relax, I am just pointing out the bug could be related to xinerama support. I take my time to report bugs, that's what users do, isnt it? :) 
Besides, you never offered any patches earlier...

Comment 60 Albert Astals Cid 2014-05-23 18:25:44 UTC
Well, i asked if you could build okular yourself. I obviously did ask that because i wanted you to try a patch, why otherwise would i interested in you building okular by yourself?
Comment 61 Sean Chu 2014-05-23 18:38:07 UTC
Well you could recreate the environment with nvidia and xinerama to see if the bug recurs if you are really keen on the project. I am just a user who uses okular occasionally, nobody pays me to do a bunch of builds to test the bug, besides, it's a company computer and I couldn't mess with it too much.
Comment 62 Albert Astals Cid 2014-05-23 18:40:48 UTC
Yes, I could buy a new computer with nvidia so i could do a test, but since nobody pays me to do any of the development you're enjoying for free, no i'm not going to do it.
Comment 63 Sean Chu 2014-05-23 18:42:52 UTC
yes do say that to the linux community and they will love it :)

Or someone else could just test it. Okular is volunteer work for the developers, sometimes a bit of collaboration from the users is quite needed for testing patches for environments which developers have no access to.
Comment 65 Kenny Fairweather 2014-06-16 14:17:54 UTC
Hi,
As a follow up, I've just tested Okular 0.19.2 from KDE 4.13.2 and can confirm that the original issue I reported has been fixed.

I'm happy to close this bug. Thanks very much guys for fixing the issue.

Anything else I can do to help debug this?
Comment 67 Thomas 2014-09-22 12:30:15 UTC
I'm not quite sure whether this bug is "solved" now or not, but I have similar issues with my setup here.
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04. Okular 0.19.3.  When I changed from a single Monitor to 2 monitors (2 24" Dell) I started to experience the "Landscape" behavior (I.e. the physical width seems to be calculated in the wrong way). 
kscreen-console lists a single monitor as physical size for both monitors:

Do I get it right, that the patch provided here is not yet incorporated into the packages available by ubuntu? 
And would that in consequence mean, that I would have to compile okular locally to use that patch (if it is applicable to my setup)?

I apologize for not updating my results.  I found that upgrading to KDE 4.14.0 (via Kubuntu backports) definitively solved this problem for me.  Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi, 
I did that upgrade (using the same way). The problem persists however. 
Any ideas what I could try?

Another information that might be important (I'm not sure):
xrandr --fbmm and --dpi don't do anything. Even running verbose I don't get any information so I assume that nothing is done.
Furthermore: it seems like there is only one Monitor detected by my system but the information is spread over both. I'm running this setup on a docking station with the monitors connected to the docking station. but I don't see a second monitor showing up anywhere in my system.

Maybe this can explain the issue and maybe anyone got an idea how I can fix this.

Thomas, you mean you have two monitors but
  kscreen-console outputs
only shows one?

If so please open a new bug as it has nothing to do with this one.
Comment 72 Thomas 2014-09-24 05:16:38 UTC
Yes, I have 2 monitors and yes I notice that none of the display tools shows this. However, xdpyinfo does get the combined width while kscreen/xrandr do not and (until now) it is only okular that shows this issue. 
I opened a new bug as recommended.
