Crash when reading a PDF

[K4LCIFER]

Affects versions :

• OS: Arch Linux
• (Linux only) Desktop environment: Gnome 42.2 Wayland
• Which version of libgtk do you use: 3.24.34
• Version of Xournal++: 1.1.1
• Installation method: flatpak

Describe the bug Hard crash when just scrolling through the PDF

To Reproduce Simply scroll and navigate through the PDF.

Additional context I have the PDF that causes the crash but I'm not sure I'm allowed to post it on github since it is a copyrighted textbook. I can send it to you individually though if anyone would like. There's a number p2p file transfer services out there.

Here are the crash logs: https://pastebin.com/u0zd1FMU

What is also interesting, is that Evince (gnome pdf reader) also crashes when reading the same PDF. Never crashes immediately, just after a few seconds of scrolling.

Have you tried running xournalpp or evince from terminal and see if there are any messages about it there?

I've got the same issue. Scrolling in evince results in a segmentation fault.

Scrolling in xournalpp gives various error messages (with a subsequent save&exit of the program), but I can't pinpoint what kind of behaviour triggers which of them (there was, I think, a third one, that I didn't manage to reproduce, and I can't find it in my console logs, either); here's the two that I managed to repeat (albeit with no consistency as to which'd show up):

** (xournalpp:243040): WARNING **: 23:51:02.548: [Crash Handler] Crashed with signal 11

xournalpp: ../cairo/src/cairo-error.c:68: _cairo_error: Assertion `_cairo_status_is_error (status)' failed.

** (xournalpp:243094): WARNING **: 23:51:52.457: [Crash Handler] Crashed with signal 6

If it's of any value, here's my initial log of xournalpp (i.e. what appears in my console before I crash the program by scrolling the document):

Same problem here. Cairo crashing while using the same pdf, both with xournalpp and evince.

This seems to be a cairo or poppler issue, if it also affects evince. Is anyone able to share a pdf file for which this happens? Then we'd also need the versions of cairo and poppler used.

[Technius]

@K4LCIFER Is this problem still affecting you?

[bhennion]

Closing for inactivity, assuming this issue has been solved (either upstream in Xournal++'s latest version)
