Nope.  On one page it selects a single line of a multiline highlight, but
selects nothing on the other page I tried (which has more highlights as in
the screenshot).

My employer would take a very dim view of that, I'm afraid.  It's at
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.csr.2007.01.023 if you have library access to
ScienceDirect.

Hmmm...this is weird.  Shift-click works as advertised with annotations that
I add and join immediately.  However, if I

a) download a free sample PDF (e.g. doi:10.1016/j.csr.2006.09.004) from
ScienceDirect
b) make an annotation as I showed in the screenshot
c) save and close the document
d) reopen and try to join the annotations from b)

it fails as I described.  This doesn't happen with all PDF files, but it
happens with multcol.pdf (doc for multcol.sty) as well.  This may indicate
that -selection isn't correct for unarchived SKPDFAnnotationMarkup objects,
but I don't see why offhand.
