don't specify the ubuntu version you are using in the title, that's confusing and give extra work to bug triagers

could you open the bug on bugs.freedesktop.org since you have the hardware to trigger the bug and can reply to their comments which is not the case for the ubuntu bug triagers

BTW: i think the importance is too low for such a regression...

The upstream bug was closed as invalid because "poppler" was not the right component. Could somebody who has more insight on this reopen that bug with the correct component? Don't know if it is poppler or cairo or something else.

does anybody still get the issue? would be worth opening an evince upstream bug, that seems to be powerpc specific

ping? did you sent this upstream? we don't have a powerpc so cannot confirm the issue.
