Description Herbert Poetzl 2015-08-03 19:51:05 CEST

When viewing a PDF, evince seems to artificially limit the magnification to some strange value between 360% and 395%, even when selecting 400% from the drop down menu.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
GNOME Document Viewer 3.14.2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a specific document and select "400%" from the zoom drop-down.
2.
3.

390.04% evince http://www.pdfill.com/example/pdf_commenting_new.pdf
383.65% http://www.st.com/web/en/resource/technical/document/reference_manual/DM00091010.pdf

Might because of this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303365#c48

Yep, I can confirm that "raising" the page-cache-size makes this issue go away.

Thanks for digging into it! Appreciated!

Best,
Herbert

And for people searching in our bugzilla (originally taken from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642683#c19)

You can check the current value of page cache with:

$ gsettings get org.gnome.Evince page-cache-size

And set a new value with:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.Evince page-cache-size 100

I'll close this as WONTFIX for now. Please report to upstream if you think the default value of page-cache-size should be increased.
