Bug Description

I created a PDF-File with Origin 7.5 that isn't rendered correctly in Evince. Interestingly though, okular, which also uses poppler, does it correctly. GIMP doesn't.

Im attaching the file and also a screenshot of the wrong and the right rendering.

Interestingly though, Okular, which also uses poppler, does. I attached the PDF
in question and a screenshot comparing the renderings of evince and a reference
rendering.

The version of libpoppler used was 0.16.4 on a Ubuntu system (libpoppler-glib6 0.16.4-0ubuntu1.1).

Confirmed. Problem most likely lies in the cairo renderer (used by glib frontend) than in the glib frontend itself

The attached PDF renders fine on Lucid, so this is a regression.
