Search problems

Description of the bug

Hello!
I have issues with searching in the document.

The problem is that the search results provide coordinates slightly above the actual line in the file.

This issue occurs in files that had the problem described in this #3751 (comment) before version 1.24.14.

I’m attaching the files for reference.
original.pdf
redacted.pdf

How to reproduce the bug

Here is the script that performs the search and deletes the lines.

input_file_path = request.kwargs["inputFilePath"]
search_value = "Reference is made"

doc = pymupdf.open(input_file_path)

for page in doc:
    instances = page.search_for(search_value)
    for inst in instances:
        page.add_redact_annot(inst, fill=(0, 0, 0))
    page.apply_redactions()

doc.save('redacted_document.pdf')
doc.close()
