Comment 27 for bug 33288

We've overlapped there Carlos, but the latest version doesn't fix those two issues.

They are both down to problems with the column identification in poppler (a bit outside the scope of this bug, but there's more robust algorithms in ocropus).

In the hig, poppler does not correctly identify the bullets as being part of their paragraphs, and then does not think that all the bullets form a single column; hence what you see. (this is a bit clearer when you look at the text you get from a paste.)

In the sun report, if you drag down in the first column, you'll see that the second column gets highlighted as soon as you hit those bulleted items: this is because poppler thinks that the bulleted items are after the right hand column in reading order!

I do think there's a problem with my code here though with the way the selection behaves when the start or end point are in those bullet pointed items. They should definitely always select when the mouse moves over them, but it seems to depend on the starting point of the selection. I'll take a look at that.
