Though I am not the OP, this looks like exactly the issue that I just observed, and I have evidence that you can evaluate.
The attached PNG is the image from which I selected the text shown in the like-named text file. As well, I have attached a ZIP archive of a recent MSINFO file.

I have here another example, taken from "Prevention from getting error by adding script tag anywhere using DOMContentLoaded Event Listener of JavaScript" at https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/prevention-from-getting-error-by-adding-script-tag-anywhere-using-domcontentloaded-event-listener-of-javascript/?ref=rp, an article from which I was taking notes.

The issue is that the third line of text should appear at the end of the first of two lines of text as they appear in the image.

This error is less serious than the one cited above, because all the text is present, just slightly out of order.

I just encountered another instance of text being parsed incorrectly from an image. The image in question is a standard JavaScript alert box. The attached image is a screen clip created by the Snipping Tool that ships with Windows 10, and the text file is the text as the PowerToy copied it onto the Windows Clipboard.

The main goal of text extractor is get you in a decent enough state. OCR is tricky, more so on small text. Without swapping out the engine, not much we can do.

while not perfect, these are pretty decent.
