When copying text from a latex-generated pdf, okular treats a one-column text as two column layout. Pasting in libreoffice leads to garbled text. (see screenshots) Repeating the same task using acroread instead of okular leads to the expected result. It might be related that the symbols for phone and email cannot be selected (in okular) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Does not apply.

Slight changes in the original latex-file cause the problem to disappear.
Git commit a80922d45e66605075a2838ee8836cfe8219bfe7 by Albert Astals Cid, on behalf of Jaan Vajakas. Committed on 25/02/2014 at 22:57. Pushed by aacid into branch 'master'. Improve XY Cut layout recognition code It was a simple bug in the XY Cut layout recognition code that made it too eager to see columns everywhere. Also removed the dependence of the layout analysis algorithms on the display DPI (introduced by the recently added feature of using KScreen) to make their behavior more predictable and reproducible.
