There's some problems with evince document window.

- If you select some text with mouse, then deselect by moving mouse back to
selection start, previously selected area is blank.
- If you select some text, then move another window over evince window,
everything not selected is erased.

I can reproduce this bug with poppler 0.4.2 and evince 0.4.0. (on i386 and amd64).

Similar issues noticed under Gentoo.

Comment 2 Kristian Høgsberg 2005-12-04 15:52:16 UTC

I believe this was an evince problem, and I think it has new been fixed.  I
can't reproduce it with cvs evince.

It is because poppler use wrong font to render the text. It will be happen in a
pdf with many font for different language characters.
