There's also a weird thing. If i get all the character positions and dump them to file, sometimes there's minor changes, e.g. in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/881407/+attachment/2571595/+files /Manning-ExtJS_in_Action.pdf

Any idea why those changes happen? Looking at the code i don't see any obvious reason for them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/39890 Title: characters change when selecting text Status in Poppler: Confirmed Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I have problems with the following pdf: www.lacim.uqam.ca/~plouffe/OEIS/citations/MAS-R9821.pdf When marking text some characters change.
