Created attachment 98823 [details] screenshot of the problem
Without a sample PDF to reproduce this problem it will be hard (if not impossible) to fix.
Created attachment 98824 [details] stripped PDF with the problem Hopefully I've stripped out everything...
Please file a bug against poppler (splash component) in http://bugs.freedesktop.org/ poppler is the pdf rendering library we use in okular and the bug is there.

Upstream bug had been resolved over a month ago, is there any schedule for a fresh Okular release?
It's an upstream bug, okular doesn't need to be released at all for this.
