Created attachment 6335 [details] PDF that causes crash
It's not a poppler bug, please close this one and submit all data to evince bugzilla - http://bugzilla.gnome.org
Forgive me for being ignorant if I am (this sort of bug reporting etc is new to me), but if code in Poppler causes a SIGSEGV then how is this a Evince bug?
There is no problem, George. Everybody learns like me and you. And particulary that was our fault since we was unclear. The code that causes the problem is located in Evince, not in poppler. I've just updated this message in Evince head to make it more precise about bugzilla.
And a crash on selection is old well-known problem, it should go away when you'll update poppler.
OK thanks, I will close the bug.
