okular PDF copy in Hebrew (or any RTL) pastes opposite

[Uri Shabtay]

Binary package hint: okular

when trying to copy from PDF files (which allow copying, like converted .odt files) in Okular, i successfully do the task in English, but in RTL languages (such as Hebrew and Arabic) -- pasting it makes the text opposite (tested on gedit, Oo 3.1.1, and Google Docs).

doing the exact same process with Adobe Reader 9 (from the repos.) pastes text perfectly.

cheers

i select some hebrew text, copy it. open kwrite and paste it. it is backwards.

i am attaching a sample pdf file and a screen-shot of the situation.

just found out that "export to text file" is generating a simple text file with the correct order of characters :-)
if you will need it i will send it over.

Is this a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156380 ?

by acknowledging this bug is a duplicate of my Copy/Paste bug, are you saying this is due to the opposite RTL issue?

Oops, wasn't paying attention. Sorry 'bout that.
