            Bug ID: 111326
           Summary: select a pdf document by columns instead of lines
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: alainroy.qc at gmail.com

Calc Version: 5.1.6.2
Build ID: 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2
Threads CPU : 4; Version de l'OS :Linux 4.10; UI Render : par défaut; 
Locale : fr-CA (fr_CA.UTF-8); Calc: group

When the content of a page in a pdf document is selected, lines are broken when
pasted into a notepad or a Calc sheet. the content is barely usable without a
great amont of work to rectify a wrongful paste operation.

The content is randomly pasted, sometimes one single column at a time, sometime
more, some times 5 or 6 lines are ok but the 10 following are broken and pasted
1 or 2 colums on the 10 next lines and then 2 or 3 source columns on the next
10 lines in 1 cell by line.

I tried to paste in a notepad as an intermediate buffer. again, lines are
broken.

a 10 lines, 5 columns pdf page can end on 30 lines. the first 10 lines carrying
col 1 and 2, line 11 to 20 having col3 and lines 21 to 30, col 4 and 5.
Sometimes I see text in a column split in two cells on a different line

is there a setting preventing this r a fix that can be aplied to correct this
situation?

Thanks.
