** Package changed: evince (Ubuntu) => poppler (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: poppler (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released ** Description changed: - Package: evince - Version: 3.32.0-1ubuntu0.1 + Impact + Case-insensitive search of unicde chars in PDF documents is broken - OS: Disco 19.04 - - How to reproduce: - + Test case 1) Open the attached document in Evince 2) Select the infinity symbol ∞ (U+221E) and copy it into clipboard 3) Press Ctrl+F and paste the symbol from the clipboard into the search field - 4) Observe that evince doesn't find the symbol (shows no results in the search pane and lightens the search field red). I expect that the symbol, on the contrary, is found (i.e., that the pane shows page 1 and some context of the symbol). - In qpdfview and okular, the symbol is found, as well as in evince from - the current debian stable. Any bugfix? + The symbol should be found in the document + + Regression potential + Check in different pdf renderer using poppler than search still work correctly -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1829785 Title: Evince: ∞ not found Status in Evince: Fix Released Status in poppler package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Impact Case-insensitive search of unicde chars in PDF documents is broken Test case 1) Open the attached document in Evince 2) Select the infinity symbol ∞ (U+221E) and copy it into clipboard 3) Press Ctrl+F and paste the symbol from the clipboard into the search field The symbol should be found in the document Regression potential Check in different pdf renderer using poppler than search still work correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evince/+bug/1829785/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
