Created attachment 66450 Check for NaN in TextPage::addChar I don't think this is related to my earlier patch. For me, this pdf crashes both with and without it. This document is doing very strange things with the current transformation matrix (CTM) and inline images. Pages 6 and 15 are filled with lines like this: q 18 0 0 -1 2782 6350 cm q BI ID EI Q q 19 0 0 -1 2782 6350 cm q BI ID EI Q Note the unbalanced q/Q for saving/restoring the graphics state. This means that the graphics state is not ever being properly restored and the `cm' operator is scaling the CTM until its components become NaN. This leads to TextWord::base being NaN. This breaks calculations in TextPool::addWord, causing wordBaseIdx to be INT_MIN, causing the text pool to not be initialized to NULLs, which causes a crash when an invalid pointer is read and dereferenced from the pool. As a test, adding a call to restoreState() in Gfx::opBeginImage allows the page to render properly and without crashing. Otherwise, poppler either crashes or places text in an invalid location. The attached patch adds a check for NaN to TextPage::addChar and throws away chars with invalid positions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/39890 Title: characters change when selecting text To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/poppler/+bug/39890/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

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.

I am not sure how to fix the problem with the Gamma glyph not being selectable. It is not selectable because it has a zero width, because there is no Widths array in the file.

I understand why they are not merged (by code not, why the code is put
there), but why the "i" has a different width that makes it overlap with
the "K" when previously didn't?

Yes, it is possible for one word to have fonts with different WModes.
Still looking into it, but I suppose it will need to start a new word on
WMode changes.
Carlos: I don't know why you do not see a difference. Without this
patch, selecting text in the minimal example changes the text to "ABC".
With this patch, it stays "BCD".

I tend to agree with Paul that is fine for a word to have different fonts, but on the other hand one can argue if the ":" in that situation is part of the word or not. I'd say 1 is a better solution but if you can get 2 with a "clean enough" code i won't be oposed to it either.

It's perfectly natural that every letter in a word be in a different font, colour, or style so that needs to be allowed for (the text could even a scan of some handwriting, or several scans), . ...what pdftotext is trying to do is to replicate what would be found in a Tagged PDF (Section 9.7 of the PDF Reference), effectively synthesising what would ideally be found in '/BMC.../EMC' '/ActualText' contents.

Thanks for the regression. The problem here is that "bold:" has two fonts since "bold" is italicised and ":" not, so before the patch, "bold:" is a TextWord and pdftotext get the text right, but drawing the selection is bad since the selected ":" would be drawn italicised. After the patch, "bold:" gets splitted up into "bold" and ":" so it gets drawn correctly when selected, but you have the regression you pointed out. So, I believe I am stuck with this choice: a). I could either allow more than one font on a TextWord, and adapt the code that draws the TextWord to use that fact, so the selected ":" does not get transform to a italicised ":" when drawing it. b) or I could fix the TextDumper to be aware of the fact in some cases there is no space between two TextWord. c) Do you have another way? I think I want to take approach a) even if it could more complicated, but approach b) seems that it could break more things that it would fix... thinking that when doing selection by words would not work at all.

I assumed that the only code that is updating the curFont is TextPage::updateFont.

This happens on not-properly-produced .pdf files, with custom encodings but without cmap (toUnicode) entries. Unfortunately, there are a lot of them out there! When selecting text, evince (erroneously) displays the characters that will be copied to the clipboard, instead of the original glyphs. Explanation: There is a PDF specification "feature", where one can declare that the character 'A' maps to the glyph 'B'. So if 'A' is written in a pdf text object, it displays as 'B' but it gets copied as 'A'! My English is poor, so I made a ***minimal*** .pdf that reproduces this bug.

[Bug 39890] Re: characters change when selecting text
I can also report this bug with evince 2.20.1 using poppler 0.6.2 on ubuntu 7.10. The problem appears only when selecting diacritics characters, like Romanian: ş,ţ,ă,î,â. Some random blind-selection (like showing selected a void area instead of text) also appears, but only in files with that characters. -- characters change when selecting text https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/39890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 39890] Re: characters change when selecting text
I see this bug in the form of disappearing characters (especially those who are in Latin-B unicode subset, for example letters ą, č, ę, ė, į, ų, ū).

Re: [Bug 39890] Re: characters change when selecting text
Yes, actually, every "special" character have problems with selection in evince. So, not only on maths formulas, but on "small caps" or accents also.

[Bug 39890] Re: characters change when marking text
Thank you for reporting this issue. I can also reproduce it. I don't think that the different characters are really different characters, just a different font. For example, the character ']' (right square bracket) looks like the character '#' in the font cmmi10, and that is the character that appears when it is highlighted. ** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- characters change when marking text https://launchpad.net/bugs/39890 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 39890] characters change when marking text
Public bug reported: Affects: evince (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: I have problems with the following pdf: www.lacim.uqam.ca/~plouffe/OEIS/citations/MAS-R9821.pdf When marking text some characters change. This happens on many places in this pdf-file. To reproduce the bug just mark some random places in the pdf. In some places the text disappears. In some the characters change totally. In others the italics is removed. I use the latest update of dapper.
