Description Ignat Semenov 2008-12-31 21:31:32 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.1 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When searching (Ctrl-F) in .chm files, Okular gives weird results, in particular the result is either:
1)the word is found but the word is not highlighted, whereas some empty area (with no text) is highlighted
or
2)there is no word matching search, but some area is anyway highlighted with yellow.

Here "/dev/null" is searched for. You can see where "/dev/null" is really and what area is highlighted.

Can you please attach the chm file you used to report this bug?

Comment 4 Yuri Chornoivan 2014-05-08 14:06:30 UTC

It is a pirate (?) copy of "LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell". And the copy from the torrent I have found is hardly correct. Same symptoms as for the reporter.

The search works fine in other random CHM files.

Is it worth to investigate this file further?
