I have a similar problem. When trying to select a paragraph of text in a multicolumn document, evince selects text from other columns too and so the whole lot is copied. I am using Ubuntu 9.04 with Evince Document Viewer 2.26.0.
You can try the bug using the attached PDF. Try selecting any text in a column and the other columns will be selected. I know this is not a problem with the PDF as text selection works fine using Foxit Reader for Linux. All the PDF documents I read are papers which are written using multiple columns, so this is a very frustrating bug for me! ** Attachment added: "HE-News-Winter-2009.pdf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26151490/HE-News-Winter-2009.pdf -- Evince doesn't handle columns properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/33288 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
