           Summary: Pages from DVI files seem to get cropped
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: DVI backend
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mick22 at gmx.at


Version:           4.4 beta2 (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 4.4.1 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Recent versions of okular exhibit the following bug: if "fit width" mode is off
when rendering DVI files, the pages seem to get cropped. Hard to explain, but
the screenshot explains it.

The effect can be even stronger than in the attached screenshot with some pages
rendered at 50% or less of the width than the previous page, giving a very
odd-looking result. 

It might have something to do with the width of the actual text on each page.
As you can see on the screenshot, the actual width of the page rendered on the
right size is proportional to the width of the yellow box for each thumbnail.

I am using Gentoo with KDE compiled from SVN, most recent version is from today
(close to 4.4 beta2). Qt version is 4.6.0.

Does not occur after converting the document to PDF.

The DVI file used for the screenshot has been taken from
http://ctan.binkerton.com/ctan.php?filename=language/german/gerdoc.dvi but the
bug also occurs with my own DVI files.
