Ok, I tested this in a second pdf and works as you mentioned.

The problem I had was specific of a 2-column pdf file that is wrongly
considered as 1 column. I assume the problem is with the specific pdf format as
other 2-column pdfs work just fine in okular.

I assume there is no simple heuristic to workaround these wrongly formatted
pdfs, which highly affect features such as searching, highlighting and
selecting/extracting text.

But that's an entirely different issue than the one fixed here. Again, thanks
for your contribution!
