Description Alexander Jerneck 2008-07-04 20:47:40 UTC

Version:           0.6.5 (using KDE 4.0.5)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 4.1.2 (gentoo 4.1.2 p1.1) 
OS:                Linux

I cannot highlight text that spans a page break. The highlighting works fine when highlighting text on a single page. 

Thanks for working on the highlighting. It's a real killer feature (ie one that makes me use okular instead of xpdf)

That's actually a wish.

+1 for this wish. It's a pretty basic feature which I expected to be implemented. Okular should automatically scroll when selecting text and moving the cursor to the top/bottom of the page.
