I can find quite some people on latex forum who expect this kind of feature from an open source PDF reader.

Pardon my english, thanks for your works.

kind of duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=242617 but since the other one mentions a different latex package i'll leave this open too.

This is now fixed and should work with Poppler > 0.79.
