I will send the following email to the developers of evince, I imagine they know the most about it, and the person best qualified to fix it.
"Dear Evince Developers, I would like to point out a minor bug in Evince, and would ask if / how this bug could be addressed and fixed. It is quite annoying, and affects a common activity (copy and paste) The issue is that when you copy text from a pdf with columns in evince, the text is selected from both the columns, which makes a mess when you paste it. Please refer to this bug and its many duplicates for better/alternative descriptions. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/33288 Thanks for your great program, and consideration, Jezza" There is probably a less direct channel, but I would like to go to the source -- Evince doesn't handle columns properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/33288 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
