SUMMARY

When "copying and pasting": Okular prints line breaks that don't really exist,
and therefore some lines are "broken" :(

There are problems copying and pasting from a PDF file to e.g. a text editor,
or a terminal emulator. I attach the PDF file, and the ODT source file. The
problem doesn't happen using Adobe Acrobat.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Open the pdf file.
2. Copy the text.
3. Paste the text in a text editor.


OBSERVED RESULT (the text after copying and pasting from the PDF file to a text
editor or a terminal emulator)

ZERO*)
echo "0";;
*ONE\
TWO\ *) echo "1 2" ;;
*ONE\
THREE\ *) echo "1 3" ;;
*ONE\
FOUR\ *) echo "1 4" ;;
ONE*)
echo "1" ;;


EXPECTED RESULT

ZERO*) echo "0";;

*ONE\ TWO\ *) echo "1 2" ;;
*ONE\ THREE\ *) echo "1 3" ;;
*ONE\ FOUR\ *) echo "1 4" ;;
ONE*) echo "1" ;;


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma:
