Hi,

i'm using poppler and it's qt-binding for a small
pdfviewer. Right now i'm working on copying text
from a pdf document.

I've stumbled upon the following problem:
If a selected text contains certain characters
the text returned by Page::getText() is truncated
before that character. I've noticed this problem
with apostrophes (",'), dashed (--), hyphens(-)
and also with ligations (eg. fi, ff, ..).

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Regards,
  Frank
