An error in selecting text when using zotero 's PDF reader

GaoYuhong · April 10, 2023

When using the built-in PDF reader in zotero, a word cannot be selected automatically, but several adjacent words will also be selected.
For example, when I double-click on 'great' in 'a great challenge', it doesn't select 'great', it selects the entire phrase. And copy and paste the selected part at this time, there is no space between words.

Can you link to a PDF where this happens and provide a specific example? (You can also email the PDF to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread, but we'll respond here.)

The pdf wherr this happens is downloaded from https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacs.3c00111?ref=pdf.
At the same time I also sent the PDF and a video about the bug to support@zotero.org .
