Re: [orca-list] trying to read a document with caret nav on causes atril to segfault

hi

Kyle is right. Atril will read a pdf file without crashing. The specific 
problem seems to be that while navigating the tree of sections of a 
document, atril doesn't actually jump to the section under the caret, 
and pressing enter, and even left clicking on the section has no effect. 
I don't have the problem kyle has, where it jumps to the middle of a 
sentence in the middle of a page, but when reading the adobe flash 
license agreement, located at aka.ms/adobeflash, atril opens to the 
arabic section and I cannot jump to the english one. This was the first 
pdf file I could lay my hands on to test atril functionality. Could it 
be the pdf file you're using kyle? Could you try downloading the one I 
listed to see if you still have the problem? Joanmeri diggs did a lot of 
the work on atril so her code "should" work. But it's possible orca 
needs fine tuning to work better with atril, maybe an app script like 
evince has, although I'm not positive about that.

Thanks
