Topic: mupdf cut/paste

I have been using mupdf, and wanted to copy some text from a pdf into a text editor.  This is usually done by right click and drag to highlight the desired text to copy.  Upon releasing the button the highlight should disappear and the text should be copied to the clipboard.  Then it can be paste into the text editor.

Although the mupdf installation I have on hyperbola will highlight the text, it never goes to the clipboard and cannot be pasted into the editor.  Does anyone else have this problem?

If there is need for workflow-tools: We can add others, but nevertheless they have to run also under BSD and should have a port.

Certainly anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices: For a life of every being full with peace and kindness, including diversity and freedom. Capitalism is destroying our minds, the planet itself and the universe in the end!
