You have been subscribed to a public bug:

libcairo2 (version 1.8.10-2ubuntu1)
evince (version 2.30.1) under Lucid (x86_64).

There is no problem with Okular (version 0.10.2) or Xpdf (version 3.02)
when opening the highlighted PDF file. The highlighted section or
sentence, text were visible.

This bug was already reported to Evince upstream as bug # 619365.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619365

According to the Evince developer it was a cairo/poppler bug that was
already corrected. Evince need cairo >= 1.9.4 to render highlighted
text.

libcairo2 version 1.9.6-6 is already on Debian experimental repository.
Please backport to lucid.

** Affects: cairo (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Low
         Status: Won't Fix
