When trying to select a sentence or paragraph from one (of the two) column(s) of a PDF file (a scientific paper), paragraphs of the other column are selected as well. It is like Document Viewer 2.30.1 does not recognize the columns in PDF-files.

Copying and pasting text from a two-columned PDF file is therefore impossible, unless I will after pasting delete all the fragments of the other column that came along.
