I just selected "However," but the selection became a mess

Yesterday I had to edit a two column document, however Okular sometimes copies
the entire line (ignoring the columns). This behavior doesn't happen on Chrome
or Firefox. 

I decided to do some experimentation with the raw (without any modifications)
template document:
https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/word_style/interim-template-style/interim-layout.docx
and it seems to be a LibreOffice Write PDF export related issue in tandem.  I
believe it to be because if I just download the PDF sample from ACM:
https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/word_style/interim-template-style/interim-layout.pdf
 Okular correctly copies text as expected. Can't say for sure all
multi-columned LibreOffice Write documents exported as PDF will cause this, but
all I generated to test had that issue or worse! When selecting a single word,
the selection picks the first word of multiple lines! (see attatchment)
