            -Dorg.icepdf.core.views.page.text.spaceFraction=4 (default is 3). This allows the space detection algorithm to see a slightly smaller gap as a space. Normally it's 1/3 the max characters width, the the above system property its now 1/4 the max characters width.

            Description

            The paste of a selection does not contain the space which was copied from selection in a displayed PDF.
            It can be reproduced with the enclosed file:A4-RR2016-VolII-E_cover_orig.pdf
            page#:106
            selected text:Appendix 30A earth

            The paste text will be "Appendix 30Aearth"
            This copy/paste works on the other main viewer.

              The inverse problem occurs too.
              For example:
              page 658 of the enclosed document:
              Text: "Articles 13 and 14" is copied/paste and the paste text becomes "Articles 13 and 14"
              i.e double space between "and" and "14".

              It is not just a matter of copy/paste since the search in the ICE Pdf Viewer finds the text only if we add this extra space.
              E.g
              'Articles 13 and 14', 2 space between and and 14, is found page 658 although it does not really contain this extra space
