Caret nav sometimes gets stuck

Created attachment 281467 [details] test case Steps to reproduce: 1. Open the attached test case. 2. Enable caret navigation in Evince. 3. Position the caret in the line containing "nec est eleifend nulla ultrices egestas quis ut quam." (column 2, line 11) 4. Press Down Arrow Expected results: Down Arrow would move you to the next line. Actual results: Pressing Down Arrow does nothing.
Created attachment 292536 [details] TestCase 2 Is this bug also the reason why i get stuck in this pdf document sometimes on page 4, mostly on page 9?
Created attachment 301873 [details] test case 3: tiny superscripts With caret navigation enabled, one cannot arrow from the top of this three line document to the bottom. Results: Arrowing from the "Line 1" line to the "Line 2® FooTM" works. If you attempt to Down Arrow from the "L" of "Line 2", the caret moves to the "®" and not the line whose text is "Line 3." Subsequent presses of Down Arrow do not move the caret. You can use Right Arrow to move beyond the "®" character by character, but Down Arrow continues to fail. If you Right Arrow in the "Line 2..." line, after you get to the "TM" symbol, the next press of Right Arrow loops you back to the "®". Though if you press it a couple more times, you will get to the line with "Line 3".
For now, removing the "multi-column" from the summary. We can always re-split these out if they turn to be completely independent bugs.
