Hi All, I have a postscript file (created using groff) which is a multi-page document. If I open it using ggv on Solaris 10 it opens correctly to page 1. When I open it using evince on Solaris 11 it opens to the last page of the document rather than the first. I tried the -page-label=1 command line open and that didn't do anything (--page-label=2 does cause the document to open to page 2) Page 1 has a page header with the page number and everything looks like it does for page 2. I don't see anything in the postscript file that would cause this to work for page 2 and not page 1 (although I haven't worked a lot with postscript files, so maybe I am missing something) Using the -preview or the -presentation command line options also causes evince to open to the first page. Unfortunately, we would prefer not to use either of those settings.
Do you have a copy of the document available somewhere? In order to try to reproduce the issue. I just created a PS using groff from a man page, but it works as expected.
Upgrading our version of evince is not an option as have to use the version that comes with Solaris 11 which, at the time we upgraded to Solaris 11 was version 2.30.3.
Unfortunately, 2.30.3 is an old version, from which there is no enough man power to support more than the development and latest stable version. Nevertheless, if the problem could be reproduced with a newer version, maybe a patch could be back ported, if not here, at least by the Solaris team.
