I need to use \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} to ensure effective text selection for German PDF documents. However, if I add a list anywhere within my document with \begin{itemize} breaks the text selection. Presumably it's some issue with the combination of using MacTeX or pdfLaTeX or Preview, but any pointer is helpful at this point. As my students often use the highlighter features of their tablet computers, it would be good if there was a way to have the working text highlighting back.
I am aware that this might be a beginner's issue, but searching around yielded no helpful results. It also made no difference using lmodern instead as a font.
The following snippet is a simple document to reproduce this issue:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{libertine}
\begin{document}
Text before Itemize
\begin{itemize}
\item hello 123
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
The text selection looks like this within Preview:
Whereas without any itemize it yields a correct selection:
