It is a generic problem with evince, which is the root of the
Read activity. This seems to be a pre-existing bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=183397

I don't know if it is an evince issue or a fedora issue.

I worked around it by reading the file in xpdf rather than
evince. This is not an option on an XO, however.
