I've begun to experience problems using the mouse to select a passage in
a PDF displayed with xpdf 3.03-10 in order to paste it elsewhere.

The ends of lines are truncated to varying degrees. For example in a
PDF with this:

  123456789
  123456789
  1234567

The past might look like

  12345678
  1234567
  123456
  
Evince apparently does not support selecting text for copying. This does
not happen on other machines.

How do I troubleshoot?
