           Summary: Highlight incorrect in two column text
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.8.3
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: matt at cfxnetworks.com


Version:           0.8.3 (using 4.2.3 (KDE 4.2.3), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-11-generic

In a PDF with two (or probably any number of) columns of text, the highlight
tool selects text in both columns before moving to the next line.

It should be that when highlighting a line and reaching the right edge of the
first column, the highlight should move to the next line below as oppose to the
same line in the next column.

Highlighter's current order:
Col 1 Line 1
Col 2 Line 1
Col 1 Line 2
Col 2 Line 2

The correct order for written English:
Col 1 Line 1
Col 1 Line 2
Col 1 Line 3
...
Col 2 Line 1
Col 2 Line 2
Col 2 Line 3
