Description sergio.nemirovsky 2014-02-17 15:17:41 UTC
Highlighter highlights all the line instead of breaking at column width and continuing on next column when pdf is organized in 2 columns. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open pdf formated with text in 2 columns (like a scientific paper)
2.use highlighter to highlight text (more than one line)

Actual Results:  
Highlighter highlights text from both columns instead of selecting text from the columns of interest.

Expected Results:  
highlighter should have selected text from only one column.

in some documents there are some pages where the hilghlighter behaved as expected and others where it doesn't

Please attach a document where that happens.

Should be a duplicate of bug #329807, and therefore fixed (as reported by Albert Astals Cid).

I have found that it does not happen in every page. it looks like it has to do with pages with multiple formattings (images on them or text in other format)
