Description Bastien Nocera 2006-11-09 11:32:15 UTC 
evince-0.6.0-3.fc6
poppler-0.5.4-2.fc6

1. Open http://people.redhat.com/drepper/nonselsec.pdf
2. Go to page 5 ("Position Independant Executables")
3. Select (only!) the second line after the readelf command on the right column ("tains text relocations [...]").
4. Switch to another window (using Alt+Tab)
5. Switch back
6. The line from 3. is still selected, but so is a whole paragraph to its left.

Trying to copy text from this PDF file is a right PITA using evince right now.
