Describe the bug (mandatory)

When placing redact annotations on the attached document, it seems there's a LF discarded during apply_redactions. This causes text that should span multiple lines to be written on one line.

To Reproduce (mandatory)

Place a redaction annotation anywhere on the document and finalize with Page.apply_redactions().

# give me a few minutes to verify the code 

Expected behavior (optional)

There shouldn't be overlapping text.

Screenshots (optional)

Your configuration (mandatory)

• Operating system: debian 10
• Python version: 3.8
• PyMuPDF version: 1.18.16 from pip

This is an upstream bug (MuPDF) unfortunately.
They have fixed it in their development version, but that is unreleased yet.

That's what I assumed; I thought I'd report it anyhow. Thank you so much for your help!
