This feature indeed needs to be fixed, if okular's highlighter tool is to become useful for scientific work, seeing as almost all journals use text-layouts with columns. However, I am not a programmer, and thus have no idea how it should be implemented, and whether analysis of pdf layouts is easy or not. If not, another possibility might be to allow the user to subdivide documents himself. I.e to allow the user to "draw" borders to which the highlighter will limit itself. Almost like setting margins in a word editor, although of course purely for internal use.
