[poppler] recent defect with page.get_text

[alex bodnaru]

hello albert, marc, other friends,

i sincerely hope this message has at least a textual copy.

the patch i proposed is successfully bypassing the problem with text selection
for the case the entire page text is being asked (with get_text).

is there a chance my patch would enter git?
the patch is re-attached.

best regards,
alex
