Package: evince
Version: 43.1-2+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I just updated debian from 11 to 12 and now I found this problem. It might not
be really due to evince, but it is shown by evince.

When I connect from a debian 12 machine to a second debian 12 machine with
command "ssh -X debian12.domain.tld" I cannot run evince any more. If I do, the
command does not show any window. It just stay there, wasting CPU cycles.

This used to work with debian 11, but I also switched from Xorg to Wayland on
both machines. I don't know if this is related, though.

Thank you,
Giuseppe
