Thanks for the reminder.
I can confirm that with the current Xubuntu 14.04.1 LTS,
evince 3.10.3 has no longer rendering problems when
rotating a document.

While this is nice, it looks to me as it was solved by chance.
I think to improve a distro users should get the impression
that bugs are cared for and solutions are actively looked for.
When I as an experienced sytsem administrator fight to stay
motivated reporting bugs (which is the case, unfortunately),
there is a problem.

Ubuntu needs the desktop - and with Unity and its still lacking
configuration options, the little care for even the LTS project
and the current focus this is not the right attitude.

Ubuntu/Debian and derivatives may still be the best desktop
solution - but in former times the product was more stable
and functional than today - despite the enormous advancements.

The bug can be closed - but the bug tracking can be shown to
not be effective just with this little (and boring) example.

Title:
  evince rotion bug with postscript files

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
     
  Hi,

  
  I ran in a problem with the final version of Xubuntu Saucy Salamander
  (the flavour should not decisive in this case ... just for clarification).

  evince is not able to render a side-viewed document (1x rotation left/right),
  while 2x rotation (i.e. upside-down) works.
  gv as well as okula both don't have any problem with rotation und 13.10 -
  the same is true for evince in Xubuntu 13.04 (when started as workaround for
  a known problem with `LANG=en_US evince').

  Output:
  evince mydocument.ps
  (evince:3776): EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_get_n_pages: assertion 'EV_IS_DOCUMENT (document)' failed

  (evince:3776): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_from_surface: assertion 'width > 0 && height > 0' failed
  (evince:3776): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `EvView': invalid matrix (not invertible)

  (evince:3776): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `EvView':
  invalid matrix (not invertible)

  Many thanks for your help - a fix or at least workaround for 13.10 would
  be much appreciated.

  
  Regards,

  JMB
