Albert, relax. But still, for many users Okular = pdf and for many users pdf =
two-column scientific papers. Okular uses the poppler backend for pdf and if
the backend now supports column selection, so should Okular.

I am sure there are already some if... then to handle all the formats you say
Okular supports. Please consider making it a priority to add use of the poppler
backend if the format where selection is happening is pdf.

Thanks,
Peter
