Description Luke Hutchison 2007-11-29 03:43:30 UTC 
When highlighting Chinese characters in the attached PDF, some highlighted characters change to other random Chinese characters as soon as they are highlighted, and change back when unhighlighted.  See Screenshot1 for "before" and Screenshot2 for "after".  There are several Chinese words on this page that do the same thing.  Probably a bug in UTF8-handling?

Looks like a bug in poppler. I've just forwarded it to the freedesktop bugzilla:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13441

Thanks for reporting.
