[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-2843) widthOfSpace() appears wrong
in TextPosition
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2843?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14604558#comment-14604558 ]

This fixes the issue with PrintTextLocations not working. Note that overriding processTextPosition was never correct and 1.8 shouldn't have been doing it this way.
