Please describe the problem: File on which bug appears: http://saikat.guha.cc/pub/sosp05wip-guha.pdf Selecting a part of a paragraph or column highlights the expected text-range, however, once the evince window loses focus the entire right column is added to the selection. The loss is focus can be through an Alt-Tab, mouse-click in another window, or simply the mouse moving to another application with sloppy mouse focus enabled. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open the document above 2. Select a part of the left column 3. Switch window focus away from evince Actual results: The entire right column is added to the selection automatically. Expected results: The text selection does not change in response to window focus events. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: evince-0.6.0-3.fc6 poppler-0.5.4-2.fc6 metacity-2.16.0-5.fc6 Arch: x86_64 Distro: Rawhide (Fedora Core development branch)
