Package: evince
Version: 43.1-2+b1

When I upgraded two different Debian stable systems to the bookworm release, regressions were noticed in the text highlighting of evince when reading PDFs created with libreoffice on the same system:

1. Text highlighting using the mouse pointer now only shows as a thin line on the baseline of the text.

2. Text searches no longer highlight the found words, even though the found words are shown in the evince sidebar.

The same PDFs made in current libreoffice have functional text highlighting when selecting text or searching them in Google Chrome.

And yet evince seems to work as normal when the PDF is not made in the current Debian stable version of libreoffice which is 4:7.4.7-1, for example a PDF made on the Debian bullseye system before upgrade, or any other PDF writer.

So, I am not sure whether this is an evince bug, a libreoffice bug or some interaction between the two.

Thanks!

Daniel
