Copy all the texts in the PDF file to reproduce the issue.

When copying some texts with word hyphenation, the hyphen is literally copied, although it is just a symbol for human readability in the PDF file. I've attached an example PDF file -- you can reproduce this issue by copying all the texts in that file.
Comment 1 Hong Xu 2016-11-24 23:27:39 UTC 
As an example, the built-in PDF reader of Chromium/Chrome does not copy the hyphens in these cases.
Comment 2 Germán Poo-Caamaño 2016-11-25 22:41:21 UTC 
I tend to think that this should be implemented in poppler, or more especifically poppler-glib, not in Evince itself.
