Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

Evince shows a rendering glitch while rendering graphs generated by matplotlib - it draws an extraneous horizontal line across the middle of the graphs.

The glitch isn't present in Adobe Reader. I've attached a PDF with the glitch, scroll down to the bottom to view the graphs.

EDIT: Based on Pedro's request, I've attached a screen of the glitch now. A white line can be seen that cuts across all the graphs.

Thanks Pramod, that's a very tinny detail indeed and it renders fine with acroread, will look upstream, leaving an upstream task open for now, thanks in advance.

I think this bug is gone in Karmic; I just tested with Evince 2.28 (which uses poppler 0.12.0). If that's the case for you too, I guess the bug should also be closed upstream.
