This document does have the column selection issue. Each row of four numbers in A1, ..., A5 behaves as a table that includes some of the text above it as well as the single-character line below.
There is an interesting behavior in slowly selecting one character at a time from left to right along the row of numbers. When you reach the space between each entry (say between "1) 30" and "2) 60" in A1), the selection skips to the line above, then skips back down when the next number is scanned.
