Description Felix Leimbach 2010-04-07 14:40:52 UTC 
Version:           0.9.5 (using KDE 4.3.5)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

When you select, copy and paste a paragraph of text with okular's selection tool then hyphenation is not handled correctly.
I.e. if a PDF contains this paragraph:

We, therefore, the represen-
tatives of the United States
of America...

and you copy and paste it into another application via okular's selection tool, then the text *should* read:

We, therefore, the representatives
of the United States
of America...

This is also how Adobe Acrobat behaves.

This is a wish, and i'm pretty sure it's a duplicate one, but don't have the time to loose looking for it, anyway don't hold your breath over this being implemented.
