Description Chris Sherlock 2007-11-06 10:07:36 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Select text from the first column of a multi-column document, and the 2nd column is selected.

Steps to reproduce:
Try selecting some text from the first column from the document found at:

http://cr.yp.to/qmail/qmailsec-20071101.pdf


Actual results:
It selects the entirety of the second column.

Expected results:
It should only select the text that you want it to select. 

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

It's been annoying me for a while.
