Title:
  Evince wont display highlighted text in a PDF file

Status in cairo package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  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.
