It is more than that. As I said:

> For example, the current code inserts a new line whenever the next word is detected to not be in the same line as the current word

The raw text isn't just having spaces added, but it is also getting new lines
added whenever the vertical space between the current word and the next word
exceeds the `maxIntraLineDelta` constant.

My patch is a very small extension of this sort of logic: add an additional new
line when the vertical space between the current word and next word exceeds the
`maxLineSpacingDelta` constant.

I don't think my patch makes any additional assumptions beyond the assumptions
already made by the code.
