Version: 0.13.2 (using KDE KDE 3.1.1a) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux after upgrading to KDE3.1.1a from 3.1.0 Kghostview has problems displaying but the first page of a muliple page p.s. document. On the sidebar I see all the page number. Neither clicking on a page number on the side bar, nor clicking the "next page" icon on the tool bar nor pressing page-down moves to the next page. However, if I click on another page number on the side-bar and then click on either "zoom-in" or "Zoom-out" the relevant page is diplayed. Similar behaviour when embeded in konqueror No problems before upgrade to 3.1.1a Problem seems independent of specific ps file. I.e. I tried a large variety of them from different source. Always the sma problem I used the kde-packeages from the SUSE ftp site
The same on slackware-9.0. Downgrading to 3.1.1 (from 3.1.1a) shows correct behaviour. Marin Mitov.
Well, but I thought the whole idea of 3.1.1a was to fix security bugs which, among others, are in kghostview. So downgrading is not the right things to do. Hoping for some help from the kde-experts....
I see the same thing with 3.1.1a, built from source on NetBSD-current. Its definitely an issue introduced with the security patch. Mark Davies
3.1.1a is broken on some systems. On the rush caused by trying to plug the security issue, the patch was not tested enough. Also, some older systems (gs versions < 6.53 or < 7.04 IIRC) are impossible to support since they do not have the necessary properties to use in a safe fashion. I will attach a patch which fixes this, if you want a simple patch and don't want to get all of BRANCH. This patch has already been applied to BRANCH and HEAD so that both KDE 3.1.2 and KDE 3.2 will work. A warning for broken gs versions will be put in soon as well.
Created attachment 1456 [details] fixes the problem (against 3.1.1a
