Hi, how did you select the text. Was it by double-clicking on the text? Marek
you need two or tree clicks to select or to show text in highligh. Correction: The original text was too simple now I see that you have to click to original pre-rotate position to select the text
Hi, selecting text in rotated documents should not be possible. It is not implemented in evince yet. There is an upstream bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583552 for this. I filled a bug for disabling the incorrect selection (bug #592963). I'm changing version of this bug to RHEL 6.1. Regards Marek
