Text lines copied from PDF always have EOLs
When copying a text from a pdf[*] and pasting into for example Libre Office Writer, the text is never paragraphs but individual lines with EOLs. This is annoying. For example Chrome's built-in PDF viewer can copy such lines without problem, qpdfview as well.
evince-3.38.0_1 on Void Linux.
Test:
- use the example pdf[*]
- select 'Overview' heading and following two paragraphs
- copy
- past into Libreoffice Writer (Past, not unformatted paste)
- do the same with Chrome built-in pdf viewer or qpdfview
Result:
- text from evince is always separated into individual lines with EOL
- text from Chrome built-in pdf viewer or qpdfview is pages as 1 heading and two paragraphs.
