apply_redactions() erases neighboring text which is not redacted

[tigrankh]

Hi,

I'm facing a strange issue when i apply redaction on a PDF.
I have the following text:

in my experiment i redact the word "von", which overlaps with bbox of the word "Niederschrift" below it and erases some of its letters, as shown below:

In one of your github issues I saw you recommended using fitz.TOOLS.set_small_glyph_heights(True), which updated the bboxes and they are not overlapping anymore.

However, when i apply redaction to the word "von" it still erases the word below.
I'm suspecting that apply_redactions() isn't just operating on the bbox rectangle, but can't really say for sure. bbox coords of those words do not overlap at all

Could you please help with this ?

There is a solution to this, but let me first move this to the "Discussions" tab.
