Once epub support has been implemented, atril crashes with all epubs. Backtrace for 1.10.2+repack1-1 (Debian Stretch): Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread 0x7fffd26d2700 (LWP 22276)] 0x0000000000000000 in ??

But nobody complained. Thus I investigated it further, why it fails only for me. First, I tried a gtk3 version. And it works properly, but the broken code is not hit at all. Due to the threaded design, it was harder to figure out, why. Here is the code path: --> ev_window_load_job_cb (shell/ev-window.c) --> ev_document_model_set_document (libview/ev-document-model.c) --> ev_view_document_changed_cb (libview/ev-view.c) --> setup_caches (libview/ev-view.c) --> if (ev_view_is_a11y_enabled (view)) { ev_page_cache_set_flags(); } ev_page_cache_set_flags (libview/ev-page-cache.c) --> ev_page_cache_set_page_range (libview/ev-page-cache.c) --> data->job = ev_job_page_data_new (cache->document, i, flags); ... ev_job_scheduler_push_job (data->job, EV_JOB_PRIORITY_NONE); ... --> ev_job_thread_proxy (libview/ev-job-scheduler.c) --> ev_job_page_data_run (libview/ev-jobs.c) --> ev_document_links_get_links (libdocument/ev-document-links.c) --> EvDocumentLinksInterface *iface = EV_DOCUMENT_LINKS_GET_IFACE (document_links); return iface->get_links (document_links, page); (get_links == NULL) --> crash As one can see it depends on the accessibility. And it is enabled on my box. It can be reproduced with gsettings set org.mate.interface accessibility true (mate logout and login) Why the enabled accessibility is not discovered by the gtk3 version is another story. My question [1] was motivated by this. [1] https://github.com/mate-desktop/atril/issues/171
