Description
Sometimes the Page::textList() method returns the text boxes out of order when one or more tables are present (esp. if the page has 2 or more columns).
For example:
blah 1 blah 4 blah 2 Table 2 Table 1 blah 5 blah 3
The order I expect is:
blah 1, blah 2, Table 1, blah 3, blah 4, Table 2, blah 5
But the order I (sometimes) get is:
blah 1, blah 2, Table 1, blah 3, Table 2, blah 4, blah 5
I've tried with with 0.16 and 0.18.4.
