Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

When copy and pasting in a 2 column pdf in evince, it selects both columns of text & pastes it in a mish mash.

It is minor but if there is a way to get copy to stick within columns that would be handy.

Ubuntu 9.04

Evince 2.26.1 0ubuntu

I expected to grab text by (within) the column

but i got all the text across the whole page... annoying!!!
