Description Zen 2009-09-29 11:48:09 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

The two characters directly adjacent to a text selection on both sides are erroneously included in text copied to the clipboard.

Comment 1 Albert Astals Cid 2009-10-05 20:07:54 UTC

What kind of text selection are you using? word processor like or the one that lets you select a free area?

Comment 2 Zen 2009-10-11 12:32:05 UTC

The word processor style "Text Selection Tool".

Comment 3 Albert Astals Cid 2009-10-19 00:36:44 UTC

Can you attach the file with this problem?

sample pdf for clipboard copying bug

For example on the first page, in the title, try selecting "SHI" from the word Bushido. Copying and pasting the selection to Kate produces "USHID".

SVN commit 1048200 by aacid:

Use the just created Okular::TextPage::CentralPixelTextAreaInclusionBehaviour flag when copying text selected with the text selection tool
so we include the text the user really selected
