After updating, some full book PDFs in my Mendeley Library would no longer render. At first, I assumed it was just that several second delay in rendering (as their often is in Mendeley), but in fact I was left permanently looking at white page after white page - no content rendered whatsoever.
Note, however, that my annotations and highlights were visible in these documents AND it was possible to select and copy and paste text from the book itself, even though it wasn't visible in Mendeley!
This problem arose for several recently added full book PDFs, which worked fine in 1.8.4 previously (and worked again after I rolled back to 1.8.4, as I eventually had to do). (Sadly, I wasted about two hours of comps reading time trying to deal with this! Though I'm grateful the roll-back was as simple as running the 1.8.4 installer - no re-downloading, etc.)
For further clarity, note that under 1.9.1, the problem described above had persisted after restarting the program, the OS, and after fully deleting and removing these books from my library and re-loading them. Only rolling back to the previous version helped.
