Bug Description

I am using Evince 3.18.2 on Ubuntu 16.04.

If i do highlight a text in a PDF document the highlighted texts gets flipped.

I've attached 1 image:

- evince_post.png (shows the highlighted and flipped text - bug)

I was able to reproduce that issue with 2 different .pdf files.

I should add that it does not happen with all PDF files, but it is reproducible with the linked document.

Upstream bug closed as issue reported against a version of evince too old for GNOME developers to consider fixing. Problem is fixed in later versions of evince, e.g. 3.32.
