Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it
would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers
of the software by following the instructions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please
tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a
bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Using clipboard in evince scrambles text

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  1. Open the PDF on https://web.archive.org/web/20091228225958/http://www.bmvit.gv.at/verkehr/strasse/sicherheit/downloads/epigus_lichtamTag.pdf with evince and go to the last page (page 21)
  2. Mark the entire 3rd paragraph and copy the text to the clipboard
  3. Paste the text in an editor like mousepad
  4. The order of words has changed now. One can see this already when marking the text. Everything is ok til the 2nd word of the 3rd line, then the next word should be "Sicherheitsvorteil" but "Früherkennung" in the 4th line gets marked instead.

  The original text looks like this:
  Fahren mit Licht am Tag bringt bei guten Lichtverhältnissen / optimalen
  Bedingungen (trockene Fahrbahn, beste Sichtverhältnisse) offensichtlich
  keinen realen Sicherheitsvorteil, da der geringe Zeitgewinn der 
  Früherkennung durch längere Zuwendungsdauern zum Scheinwerfer 
  paralysiert (zunichte gemacht) wird.
