Bug#488750: evince: Crashes when PDF file is changed while being viewed

[Dylan Thurston]

Package: evince
Version: 2.22.2-1
Severity: normal

If, while viewing a PDF file, the PDF file is changed on disk, evince
gives lots of messages about missing font tags and fails to display
anything.  Asking for the file to be re-opened often results in a
crash.  More helpful behaviour when editing documents would be to
behave like (eg) xdvi: notice that the file has changed and attempt to
re-open it; but in any case it shouldn't crash.
