Title:
  Punctuation, Characters disappear upon highlighting.

Status in Poppler:
  Invalid
Status in poppler package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In pdf files opened using evince, selecting text makes some
  punctuation disappear. This includes

  a) commas (,) that occur immediately after text in italics.
  b) Letters that occur immediately after an emdash (A long "-" ).

  Also, when highlighting text using the mouse, sometimes highlights the
  adjacent column (sometimes all of it) in a very sporadic, arbitrary
  manner, making it difficult to select precisely the text that I want.

  Details of the packages used are as below:
