Hi Andreas, Of course the output itself is different, but I would expect that the underlying text each tool processes would be the same, and it's not. Have a look at the first line in the PrintTextLocations output file: String[472.89,54.0 fs=10.0 xscale=10.0 height=7.21 space=2.5 width=2.7799988]: It is repeated, with exactly the same information, 12 times throughout the output, lines 1, 91, 181, 271, 361, 451, 541, 631, 721, 811, 901 and 991.
Why would the same information be processed 12 times in a single run?
