           Summary: pasting of extra spaces and line breaks
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: general

This is a consistency issue.

When you copy/paste from a poppler-powered pdf reader, and the selection is
from the middle of a line and wraps multiple lines, you get extraneous spaces
at the beginning and line breaks where they occur in the pdf.

To make this consistent with other applications these spaces and line breaks
should be removed (not copied).

The standard pdf viewer in Windows (Adobe) does not copy the leading spaces,
but it does insert the line breaks.  What is the correct action for the line
breaks then?

using poppler 0.6 in evince 2.20.0
