Yes, that was the stance in many cases. I had discussions on that matter,
and people said that if one cannot recreate the pdf with free tools
we cannot include them.

I ran this test file through latex as it is installed on Debian, and
also through latex of upstream TL.

I tested both with both xdvi.

After selecting Mode "Magnifier" (instead of "Text Selection" or
"Ruler") at the right side it works too for me. In Debain stable it
works when selecting Mode "Magnifier" Mnd mode "Text Selection".

Martin, what are your experiences?

Not that I know it, but I assume that is intended that way? Text 
selection mode should not jump around.

I remember how I hated WinWord or Firefox jumping to the email program
when I just wanted to copy something!

Bug#566158: texlive-binaries: hyperlinks do not work in xdvi

Dear all

Yes, in Magnifier Mode the hyperlinks work fine, thanks!
In Text Selection they do not work, even if I choose 
the point carefully.

Regards,

Martin

Yes, the bug could be closed. 
(But perhaps one should mention in the manpage that
hyperlinks work only in Maginfier mode?)

Many Thanks
