Package: libpoppler-glib6
Version: 0.16.7-2+b1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
theanks a lot for providing poppler.
my problem:
the poppler_page_get_text function began to return only part of the full text
of a page, while pdftotext kept returning the whole text, correctly.
after some research, with the help of albert from upstream, i found the problem
has been introduced by brian in a selection with right to left related patch,
between
0.13.2 and 0.13.3.
me and albert tryed to contact brian, with no success yet.
but since the offending patch was about selected text, i've modified the
poppler_page_get_text function to directly get the whole text, and not to
invoke the poppler_page_get_selected_text, which naturally fell victim to this
bug.
i hope albert, maybe together with brian, would consider applying this patch
on 0.18.x, but they refused to apply it on older 0.16.x, that we have in debian.
hence i'd ask you to apply it for debian users.
