Steps taken to reproduce
* Open attached PDF file
* Select all text with mouse using selection tool, copy to clipboard
* Paste in text editor (Kate)
* Observed results contains additional line breaks

Alternatives investigated
* Open attached PDF file
* Select all text with "Ctrl + A", copy to clipboard
* Paste in text editor (Kate)
* Observed results contains additional line breaks

* Open attached ODT file
* Select all text with mouse using selection tool, copy to clipboard
* Paste in text editor (Kate)
* Observed results match the contents of the original file, no extra line
breaks

* Open attached ODT file
* Print to PDF
* Open resulting PDF
* Select all text with mouse using selection tool, copy to clipboard
* Paste in text editor (Kate)
* Observed results match the contents of the original file, no extra line
breaks

* Open PDF file in different PDF viewer (Chrome browser default viewer)
* Select all text with mouse using selection tool, copy to clipboard
* Paste in text editor (Kate)
* Observed results match the contents of the original file, no extra line
breaks

It is perhaps worth noting, that when selecting only a subset of the text with
the mouse tool, the phantom line breaks can be seen through the number of
characters reported selected by Okular. For instance selecting "ONE*" in the
last line reports 4 characters, but selecting "ONE*)" reports 6.

I'm not the developer, updating as part of the Okular Bug Day for the Bugsquad.
