Error with highlighting to comment on shared pdf

When I select text in the pdf, the select tool works fine, and the correct text is highlighted. When I then click on the add comment pop-up, however, the highlight shifts some characters to the right. Sometimes this isn't a problem, but sometimes it means that the highlight jumps whole words, sentences or paragraphs, so that it's unclear what I'm actually commenting on. Please help!
