I don't know if this is the right bug to report in, but it wasn't quite the same as any other bugs (although similar). If I have a multi-column document, and I try and select ONE WORD, it fail. It selects the whole page as soon as I start any text selection operation! This is a BIG problem for me, I need to copy and paste from PDFs all the time, and at present this functionality is 100% broken in evince. I may have to switch to Linux Acrobat, yuck.

For instance, this PDF:

http://www.hyosungsource.com/catalogs/GT250_Parts_Catalogue.pdf

Go down to one of the pages with many parts listed. Try and select just one element from any column. It immediately selects all of the columns except the one you are on. This produces a useless result.
