Bug forwarded from Evince: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435874 "I'm reading the PDF version of Mel Gorman's book "Understanding the Linux Memory Manager" and taking notes in gedit. http://www.phptr.com/content/images/0131453483/downloads/gorman_book.pdf When I try to copy words with underscores, they paste into gedit with spaces instead of underscores. For example, page 15 has a line which reads "This struct is always referenced by its typedef pg_data_t" but when I paste I get "This struct is always referenced by its typedef pg_data_t" This also happens when pasting into Firefox and Evolution, so I'm assuming it's not a gedit bug."
Happens on acroread too, without further investigation i'd blame the pdf itself more than poppler.
Probably the program that is creating the pdf uses scaled 1x1 images or something equally foolish for underscores.
If underscores aren't there, shouldn't the bug be close as NOTOURBUG? Thanks, Pablo
Agreed, we match Adobe Reader behaviour so not a bug, just that the document is "malformed" for what you want it.
