Description Matt Hubert 2009-05-26 07:42:12 UTC
Version:           0.8.3 (using 4.2.3 (KDE 4.2.3), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-11-generic

In a PDF with two (or probably any number of) columns of text, the highlight tool selects text in both columns before moving to the next line.

It should be that when highlighting a line and reaching the right edge of the first column, the highlight should move to the next line below as oppose to the same line in the next column.

Highlighter's current order:
Col 1 Line 1
Col 2 Line 1
Col 1 Line 2
Col 2 Line 2

The correct order for written English:
Col 1 Line 1
Col 1 Line 2
Col 1 Line 3
...
Col 2 Line 1
Col 2 Line 2
Col 2 Line 3
