Bug Description
Binary package hint: evince
Copy paste from a PDF document using evince results in the addition of a newline character to the end of the pasted text. This is possibly seen as a convenient feature, but in reality more often than not results in the need to delete the new line.
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
Release: 10.04
evince 2.30.3-0ubuntu1.2 Document (postscript, pdf) viewer
Expected behaviour: Copying and pasting text from a PDF document should result in the text selected from the PDF being included in the new location without alteration.
Oberved behaviour: The pasted text is altered with the addition of a new line.
