I confirm that selection still behaves strangely on some pdf file, especially with multiple columns.
I use evince 3.14.1 and poppler 0.26.5 on debian jessie.
I attach again one file attached to gnome bug #325189 because it is a good test case.

Title:
  Highlighting words selects highlights random things

Status in Poppler:
  Confirmed
Status in poppler package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  1) Ubuntu 8.04.1

  2) ii  evince         2.22.2-0ubuntu Document (postscript, pdf) viewer

  3) I drag my mouse over text and I think it should only highlight what
  I've dragged over.

  4) Evince actually highlights parts of previous portions of text, many
  times including the bullet on the same line, parts of the line from a
  different column, or other pieces of text.
