PDF testcase where c&p is not properly done

I have noticed a small problem with copy-and-paste on a UTF-8 encoded PDF file.

I generate a PDF using LaTeX with these headers:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}



The text is written in spanish using UTF-8 encoding. The text contains some
words with accute accents, like comunicación. PDF is properly shown on Evince,
but when I try to copy those words, a weird behaviour is shown.

Pasting a word with an accent somewhere, for example Gedit, is not properly
done. Instead paste the corresponding word, the vowel with accent is replaced
by a space and the acute  accent is placed on the next letter. For example,
trying to paste comunicación I get comunicaci ń.
