I assume that a lot of people know about this bug already;
I want to document that it's fixed in acroread's next release.
What were you trying to do?
Use the acro locker's acroread program, on a display with
more than 8-bit color.
What's wrong:
Acroread 4.0 for linux has a bug -- when it redraws pages
from the cache (if the option "use page cache" is on), it
will mispaints any "white" colors with something wrong.
(For "wrong", I've seen either yellow or cyan, depending
on what type of display I've had acrobat on.)
What should have happened:
Acroread shouldn't do this.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I've verified that the acroread 4.05 does not have this bug.
For those who want to test, I've temporarily installed 4.05
into /var/local/acro/bin on alice-whacker.mit.edu.
