getClientRects()[0] gave a token that wraps — one wider than its line, or one
carrying a hyphen or a slash — its whole text at its first fragment's position,
where pdftotext reads the two fragments as separate words on separate lines. So
every such break reported a lineBreak the two engines did not actually disagree
on, and hid the case where they break at different characters. Split by the line
each character lands on; the per-character walk only runs on a word with more
than one rect.
