Multi-layer graphics not displayed correctly.

[guest/talldad@…]

Using Lucide on eCS 1.2

Displayed a multi-layer pdf, which showed a second graphic when using GSView.

I infer that the main layer was supposed to be transparent, as the hidden graphic flashed up first on a blank layout, in its correct position, then "disappeared" when the rest of the pdf was displayed.

I can fwd the pdf if required.

poppler (library which we use for pdf-rendering) doesn't supports transparency yet. I hope, poppler developers will support transparency someday.

Here the bugs opened against poppler regarding transparency:

There seems to be changes to Poppler according to the buglist above. I would say we check if the Poppler update solves that problem and close that bug.
