Title:
  Evince doesn't handle columns properly

Status in Poppler:
  Confirmed
Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “poppler” source package in Lucid:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  So, now that RC is here, let's propose it as an SRU.
  I've pushed it in lucid-proposed. The debdiff is 
poppler_0.12.4-0ubuntu4_2_0.12.4-0ubuntu5.debdiff attached there for 
information. I'm removing old debdiff to avoid confusion.

  poppler (0.12.4-0ubuntu5) lucid-proposed; urgency=low

    * debian/patches/11_column_selection.patch:
      - backport from upstream git commit to fix wrong selection in pdf when
        containing tables, long text, broken flow and so on.
        (fixing most of known issues with selection in pdf) (LP: #33288)

  
  ----------------------------
  ----------------------------

  When making a multi column selection from a PDF like this:

  http://www.specialist-games.com/mordheim/assets/lrb/1Rules.pdf

  And pasting the result into OpenOffice.org the columns are not
  maintained. The results unusable because the text from both columns
  becomes mixed.

  Please note, this is not a PDF problem, using Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.x
  under Windows does properly copy-paste columned text over to
  OpenOffice.org.

  Pascal de Bruijn
