> The problem appears in version 1.7.1 and in revision 1409864. I
> attached a one-line patch that fixes it.
> In method "PDFMarkedContentExtractor.processTextPosition", the loop
> over "sameTextCharacters" should break immediately after
> "suppressCharacter" is set to "true". All the iterations after
> "suppressCharacter" is set to "true" do not perform any useful work,
> at best they just set "suppressCharacter" again to "true".
> Method "processTextPosition" in class "PDFTextStripper" has a similar
> loop, and this loop breaks immediately after "suppressCharacter" is
> set to "true", just like in the proposed patch.
