Corrected entry: While Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Darth Maul are fighting, there are three shots of their faces. In the next shot, Maul jumps backwards to the nearest bridge. In these scenes, Qui-Gon is on the left and Obi-Wan on the right (from Maul's view). When the Jedi jump to the same bridge, they have switched places. (01:52:39)

Correction: It's a little difficult to see, but they actually swap places on-camera before the leap. Right after the three close-ups, Obi-Wan does a "fake out" where he starts to charge Maul, before instantly backing away. Simultaneously, Qui-Gon charges Maul diagonally and swaps places with Obi-Wan. So they actually do purposely swap places on camera... it's just very fast and easy to miss.
