Description Andrew Duffey 2005-10-15 18:26:12 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Fedora 4

If you select some text, then release the mouse button, and then select other
text, the previously selected text cannot be seen. Also, if you select some
text, and then (without releasing the mouse button) deselect that text, the text
that was selected cannot be seen. Also, if you begin selecting text, and then
wildly move the cursor around (without releasing the mouse button), evince will
often crash. This behavior was tested mostly on documents generated by pdfLaTeX.

Part of this might be a duplicate of bug #314526. Sorry about that, I searched
for "selected" to see if there were any duplicates but I guess bug #314526
doesn't use the word "selected" to describe a similar problem.

Also, I noticed another similar problem while trying to take screenshots of the
disappearing text behavior. If you select text and then press the print screen
button on the keyboard, all text that isn't selected disappears.

Let me mark this bug a duplicate of bug with link to poppler issue. About
crasher, it's better to get meaningful backtrace of something and update bug
314526 or create a new one.
