Description trondsg 2007-10-26 10:28:59 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When I select text, the whole selected area is drawn in one colour, so the selected text becomes "invisible".

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the pdf file from http://www.nondot.org/sabre/os/files/MemManagement/DynamicStorageAllocationSurvey.pdf
2. Select some text



Actual results:
The selected text and background is the same shade of blue (depends on theme)

Expected results:
Selection background and text should have different colour

Does this happen every time?
Yes, but only in one particular document: http://www.nondot.org/sabre/os/files/MemManagement/DynamicStorageAllocationSurvey.pdf

Looks like a bug in poppler with Type3 fonts. I've just forwarded it to freedesktop:

Thanks for reporting.
