Title:
  evince copy adds a newline character

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  Copy paste from a PDF document using evince results in the addition of
  a newline character to the end of the pasted text. This is possibly
  seen as a convenient feature, but in reality more often than not
  results in the need to delete the new line.

  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
  Release:	10.04

  evince             2.30.3-0ubuntu1.2  Document (postscript, pdf)
  viewer

  Expected behaviour: Copying and pasting text from a PDF document
  should result in the text selected from the PDF being included in the
  new location without alteration.

  Oberved behaviour: The pasted text is altered with the addition of a
  new line.
