After a quick look at the code, zathura doesn't add the newline. We simply pass the text we get from poppler/libspectre/... to the GTK function to set the selection. While trying to reproduce the issue I noticed that libpoppler-glib8 0.22.5-3 doesn't seem to add a newline while 0.18.4-10 does - note that this could also just have happended by chance since the selection code often depends to heavily on the selection rectangle and gives different results if you're just a pixel off. So please try poppler from experimental. It might fix your issue. Regards -- Sebastian Ramacher
