Text not selected in sequential order

Post by bernard meunier »

Hi,

I'm seeing strange behavior while selecting text in some documents (Using PDF-XChange 331.0).
I have added one such (see sample pdf) attached. (BTW that PDF as been created using new Doc from txt file)

If you start selecting from top (or from any point in first paragraph) and if you move cursor to the bottom,
You will notice that parts of text beginning with bullets are not sequentialy selected beyong "performance:".

Instead "Page 6 and below text" is selected before the first line (here starting with "Spread host....").

Is there a reason for such? (when using the read out loud that part "Spread host...." is skipped).

This is not critical of course!

Regards
Bernard

BTW: I noticed that adding text to bulleted paragraphs could be root cause.

Hi Bernard,

Thanks for the post and sample - My colleagues and I don't see this here. Is there any way that you can make a short video or GIF that shows what you're seeing, to make sure we haven't misunderstood?

Thanks,
