GIF which shows the bug

As soon as I highlight a text (you get the tool by pressing F6 and then 4), the whole text of the page disappears. The text itself is still there, you can use the "Text selection tool" and copy paste it.

I created a Gif that may help you to see the problem.

Which poppler version are you using? Bug 360201 seems to suggest it is a poppler bug.
