I have read through several of the mailing lists, feature requests, and bug reports and noticed that there are issues with columns (from Apple's side of things it appears), so maybe this problems is intractable also. When using the command-shift click to go from Skim back to Latex code in Emacs, there seems to be a fairly common occurrence of going to the right "height" in the document, but to the wrong column.

To be more descriptive, here is my configuration:
1) OSX running Emacs22.1-Carbon
2) Skim 0.6.1
3) Using the most recent PDFsync from CTAN and emacsclient to talk between Skim and Emacs

The pdf document I am working with is a 2 column document generated using pdflatex in a format common to an IEEE conference publication. The problem intermittently occurs when using command-shift-click to reverse search from the PDF document to the latex file. Here are the things that are working right: 1) It always goes to the correct file (I use the SourceDoc tag in my Latex file and multiple TEX files for a single paper)
2) It always jumps to the text corresponding to the correct page

The problem is that depending on my vertical placement of the mouse cursor, it jumps to either the left or right column, regardless of the horizontal placement of the mouse cursor. I have attached a simple latex file to illustrate (of course someone will need emacs+pdfsync to test it out. To make the problem occur repeatably, use the command-shift-click on the subsection entitled "0.1 KING HENRY IV". This will in fact take you to the proper location in the file. If you command-shift-click slightly lower in the text of the subsection, it will make you jump forward to the "0.4 KING HENRY IV" subsection.

I can investigate further if someone is willing to give me a little direction as to how to proceed.

Thanks (for your help and for a great utility)
