                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

Extracting text with raw_order_layout gives malformed and random output (no
text at all for most pages):

  ustring str = p->text(p->page_rect(), page::raw_order_layout);

An example:

 - source: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1403.2805.pdf
 - pdftotext default output: http://pastebin.com/raw/A93xPT4j
 - cpp with page::physical_layout: http://pastebin.com/raw/MZFpTRbD
 - cpp with page::raw_order_layout http://pastebin.com/raw/n8dcsqkZ

Output misses most text, has no spaces, etc. Also each time I run it, I get
different results so it looks like there is a memory bug.
