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.

the word selection fails sometimes, and it appears word selected where there 
are not supposed to be.
