Bug ID: 468422
Summary: Copied text from PDFs in Okular show up in clipboard
but cannot be directly pasted
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Clipboard
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download the following paper `https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/18452666.pdf`
It also works for other PDFs.
2. Open it in Okular
3. Select the title "Coherence effects in Mie scattering"
4. Press Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard
5. Close Okular
6. Try to paste the title somewhere with Ctrl+V, e.g. into Kate or try to
rename the PDF by pasting the title in Dolphin
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing is pasted! The copied text however appears in the clipboard applet.
If you however do not close Okular in step 5, pasting works.
It also works if you copy it again by clicking on the copied content in the
clipboard applet.
Interestingly, this bug appears only for some parts of the PDF, like the title
or the first sentence of the first paragraph.
I could not reproduce it when I copied the authors name under the title.
