Description Greg Grossmeier 2007-10-28 22:40:05 UTC 
A user should be able to use their keyboard to select text (shift-arrow-keys) instead of having to rely on their mouse/touchpad.

Other information:
I am only using Evince and Adobe 8, so I am not sure what other poppler-based viewers do, but Adobe allows this.
