highlights stretching accross a line end not found

[widle]

Exporting highlights and associated notes works only as long as the highlight stays on a single line of text. When the highlight is longer, it is not found and the note is attached to one corner of the page with a corresponding error text.

If I understand things right, this is going to be addressed by Issue #4, but I'm filing it as a separate issue anyway, just in case.

Sorry to hear this. I've had some success with multiline highlights, but I'm not surprised to hear that this part of the code is fragile. You're right -- a fix to #4 should solve this problem. But there are other mitigations we might make to help here, so I'm going to leave this open in case #4 isn't fixed soon.

I've just pushed a change that might help in this case. If you get a chance, could you try it out and let me know if it help or not?

Unfortunately, the solution to #4 is looking harder and harder....

I'm sorry it took me so long to answer. The truth is, it didn't help, the long highlights stil aren't found on the page. I usually create my PDF files from text editors like Word by "printing" or saving as PDF, if that helps.

That's too bad. I haven't looked at #4 recently, but last time I did, I
was getting very confused. So I can't promise any timescale for a fix
there.

If you send me an offending PDF (rschroll at gmail), I'll take a look
and see if there's an easy work-around for the time being.
