[Bug 769329] Re: very buggy selection behavior

 

I first experienced the bug in maverick. The bug still exists in natty
and oneiric though it appears to be partially fixed - the incorrect
characters still exist, the occasional black instead of orange selection
bar still exists, but selecting text no longer blanks out sections of
text. Note that except for the incorrect characters, the buggy behavior
is not consistent and I have to swipe my cursor several times to make it
happen (the screenshot earlier is a particularly bad case.)

Title:
  very buggy selection behavior

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  in any PDF document, selecting more than 1 line often causes very
  strange selection behavior with different colors of selection and some
  parts blanked out. Also, especially in mathematics documents,
  selecting a character sometimes causes it to change to something else
  (when selected, "-12"turns into "-∞∈".)
