Bug#1041992: Regressions in text highlighting since upgrading to Debian bookworm

[Daniel James]

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
