Comment 26 for bug 1203349

Well, catering for "plain users" which will not install 14.04 till released, maybe instead of backtracking in already-obsolete core GTK stuff, somebody could just add a "quick-and-dirty" patch saying "if file size equals zero don't show preview" (I'm not a developer and so I don't really know but matbe its' two lines) would be helpful, as you say, it's still several month of support remaining for 13.10 before EOL.

I was affected by the bug hit when I had a .dvi file with zero size (13.10). Indeed, as of late February, the version of libgtk-3-0 that I have is 3.8.6-0ubuntu3.1, (I just did apt-get update and dist-upgrade). How did you upgrade to 3.8.7 in 13.10?
