The generic "block" selection (the only one available in KPDF) is still there.

What would adding a "configuration option" solve?
This is a case much similar to bug #161324 (recognising logical text columns),
ie the text information in the document are not in the "logical" order for
reading, so there must text analysis for solving this "problem". (Also note
that your testcase is a perfect example of what would be eventually considered
as a two-column text flow.)
