Description Robert Roth 2011-10-31 21:41:47 UTC
Copying a paragraph containing quotation marks is not working correctly. The first quotation mark is always copied as a "1", the second as an "a".
Copying the first passage of the second page of this pdf (http://dip.bundestag.de/btd/13/110/1311004.pdf) brings this:

Confirmed via original downstream report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/768264

1) lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
Release:	15.04

2) apt-cache policy evince
evince:
  Installed: 3.14.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.14.1-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 3.14.1-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What is expected to happen when one copies the first paragraph of the second page of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/768264/+attachment/4282570/+files/1311004.pdf it does so verbatim, just like Adobe Reader.

4) What happens instead is the first comma is not highlightable. First reported in Ubuntu 11.04 evince 2.32.0-0ubuntu12.
