Bug Description
After the pdf import, text, that was originally the solid, is often split into separate words, and sequences of words, placed such that they appear as a solid text.
The suggested feature: Offer the user an operation to combine such texts when possible. The user will draw the rectangle, and specify the error tolerance. Inkscape will identify all co-located texts that are co-located within that tolerance, and combine text elements into one, such that they will look (almost) like the original.
This will greatly simplify pdf documents modifications. Sometimes, it is necessary to slightly change text in the document. When the original text is arbitrarily split into fragments, it is much harder to edit it.
