No copy on MuPDF #27

Open pqks opened 6 years ago

Hi. I use MuPDF like pdf viewer on Debian 9 with XFCE. I changed the default clipboard manager of Xfce (clipman) because creates conflicts with inkscape, so now i used parcellite. But when i use MuPDF and i select text for copy nothing happens.

Please, some hint.

UPDATE: From man page of MuPDF:

Right mouse button drag Select text in an area. On X11, the selected text can be pasted in another application with a middle click. Press Ctrl+C to copy the selected text to the clipboard. On Windows, the selected text will automatically be copied to the clipboard.

Some text is not actually text. Are you sure it's text. I'll test next chance I get.

Oh yeah, it's text. I'd tried the same pdf with Evince and i can select and copy the text.

Interesting. I've never seen an application that did this, but the good news is that I duplicated it.
