Created attachment 66101 Another small test case The patch doesn't fully solve the problem for me. I have attached another PDF file (which only contains one math formula) with which I still can reproduce the issue.
When I try to select the Sigma ("∑") in Evince, limits ("m=0" and "∞") disappear; when I try to select "x/2" fraction, I get an orange or black rectangle (I use Ubuntu's Ambiance theme, so normally selection color should be always orange). I can confirm that the "Minimal pdf" attached here is fixed by this patch, though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/39890 Title: characters change when selecting text Status in Poppler: Confirmed Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I have problems with the following pdf: www.lacim.uqam.ca/~plouffe/OEIS/citations/MAS-R9821.pdf When marking text some characters change.
