Bug Description
In pdf files opened using evince, selecting text makes some punctuation disappear. This includes
a) commas (,) that occur immediately after text in italics.
b) Letters that occur immediately after an emdash (A long "-" ).
Also, when highlighting text using the mouse, sometimes highlights the adjacent column (sometimes all of it) in a very sporadic, arbitrary manner, making it difficult to select precisely the text that I want.
Details of the packages used are as below:
carthik@bahro:~$ apt-cache policy evince libpoppler1

I can send someone a copy of the paper that I observed this bug on. I can't upload it due to copyright/ownership restrictions.
