Bug#795934: evince: doesn't close network connections after opening documents from thunderbird/icedove

[Andrew King]

Package: evince
Version: 3.16.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

After opening pdf attachments from my mail client (icedove), each evince process keeps an open network connection to the mail server (long after the document has completed loading). 

(I'm assuming that evince is retrieving the document, otherwise I am unsure why it needs a network connection in the first place). 

The problem is that after I have 10 documents open my mail client is unable to contact (or authenticate to) the mail server as it limits the number of active connections to 10 per IP.


Evince should close the connection once the document is loaded, or better yet, load the document from /tmp and not make/keep any network connections.

The immediate workaround is to save all attachments and then open them (which is somewhat inconvenient). 

Regards,
Andrew
