Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be
reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the stable
release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test
with it so we can work on getting it fixed. You can find out more about
it at http://www.ubuntu.com/download . Thanks again and we appreciate
your help.

Title:
  Whole system freezes when scrooling with middle mouse button

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  The problem has occurred many times but does not happen all the time. It seems to happens when large PDF files are being scrolled through usually with the middle mouse button (but once using the scroll bar).
  The system completely freezes (even the system monitor in the task bar stops moving.
  Keyboard and mouse do nothing and I have to do press the machine button to reboot the system.
  I have recently also experienced problem booting into the system where I end up with Ubuntu booting, showing the splash screen but then the screen input goes and I am left with no screen signal and have to reboot into recovery mode. I don't know if these two faults are related but include the info to help analysis
