Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

In Evince document viewer it sometimes happens, that formular inside PDFs changes, when marking it with the mouse pointer.

An example is attached. You can reproduce the example with the following file:
http://groups.csail.mit.edu/graphics/pubs/thesis_antone.pdf (page 167)

If I copy and paste the marked text, the result is the correct text as displayed before marking. If I unmark the text, it returns to the previous, correct text.
