Mark: what's going on there is that the bounding boxes of the (1) (2) (3) ... text regions are tightly around the text you can see, and when the mouse is between them, its not over any text region at all. Hence, the best guess of what you were trying to select is the nearest text region (by manhattan distance), which will be the one above or below the current line, because these columns are very short and widely spaced. When the mouse is close to what you intended to select, and not in the middle of blank space, this usually does the right thing. Acrobat makes the same guess.
