Created attachment 104911 [details] Trying to annotate a sentence, but ended selecting the whole page. If a pdf file I want to annotate has vertical text in the margins, it causes problems: when I try to highlight horizontal text, the tool will try to annotate the perpendicular vertical text too, making it hard to just annotate wanted text. The vertical text zone will expand on the whole page. The same thing happens when I try to select text. Also, the problem is only present on odd pages if the document has alternative margins size. On the attached screenshot I was trying to highlight the text "poststructuralisme et le postmodernisme – qui se concentrent sur des aspects différents du genre et de la sexualité informés par des conceptualisations du social ; elles ne partagent donc pas une ontologie commune du social" but I ended with whole text on the page being selected.
With okular 1.6.70 and the pdfs with vertical text I know, selecting by text or by a rectangle work fine for me (doesn't select all page, tried in every page). If you have any public PDF where it still selects the whole page, please reopen the bug and attach it (if it is small enough) or add the url where to find it. Best regards.
