I've just tried in a sid/experimental chroot environment and the same
happened to me:

 • with libpoppler-glib8/0.18.4-10, I obtain the spurious additional
   newline

 • with libpoppler-glib8/0.22.5-3, the copy & paste action seems to
   work as expected

So, it really seems that the issue lies in libpoppler-glib8/0.18.4-10
and is fixed in libpoppler-glib8/0.22.5-3 (currently in experimental).

Sebastian, I would like to thank you for your kind and prompt
assistance! Great job!   :-)

Now, I have to wait for libpoppler-glib8/0.22.5-3 (or later version) to
be installable on my actual system: I need to upgrade libfontconfig1 to
a version >= 2.11 and, hence, remove xpdf, in order to upgrade
libpoppler-glib8... Oh well, it will happen, sooner or later...


Thanks again for your time!
Bye.
