Description Brallan Aguilar 2014-05-21 06:43:31 UTC

When I use 'Text Selection Tool' to copy a link, when I paste it, the underscore characters are missing (changed by blank spaces).

Reproducible: Always




I have a PDF document with the link: 
http://cmosedu.com/videos/electric/electric_videos.htm 

but when I copy it and paste (for example in Kwrite), I get:
http://cmosedu.com/videos/electric/electric videos.htm

Not a bug, there's no underscore in that part of text, as you can see there's no pdf viewer (Adobe Reader included) that extracts the underscore when selecting text from that part. Sadly there's not much we can do, but you should just be clicking on the link, not doing a copy&paste

Ok, I understand. Er, but I can't clicking on the link (I have not this option), so I had to copy it :s

Oh yes, i'm sorry there's no proper link in the pdf file :/

Oh well, the pdf file is basically broken, not much we can do
