Bug: PDF reflow and highlighting error

thibaulthalpern · 04-01-2009, 11:44 PM

For a while now, I've noticed a highlighting bug that involves PDF reflow. I finally decided I'd make a note of it here. I want to make Sony aware of this bug but don't know where to submit the bug.

The bug is as follows:
reflow PDF file by clicking on any of the text zoom levels aside from "S". "M" is a good choice. Now begin to highlight two or three lines. Very soon, you will notice that a large block of text is highlighted , particularly text on the top right quadrant of the screen. The highlight takes the form of a mirror "L" shape. If your first highlight doesn't do this, try a second or third highlight. Very soon, this bug will appear. If you reflow your text back to "S" zoom level, meaning normal level, the erratic highlight disappears and you are show what you actually intended to highlight. If you reflow the text to say "M" zoom level, the highlighting error reappears.
