Enhanced Text selection doesn't work as it does in pdf.js

[yuvalyellin]

Before you start - checklist

• I followed instructions in documentation written for my React-PDF version
• I have checked if this bug is not already reported
• I have checked if an issue is not listed in Known issues
• If I have a problem with PDF rendering, I checked if my PDF renders properly in PDF.js demo

Description

In PDF.js text selection works more smoothly than in react-pdf for my pdf (in Chrome)
I added a border to border to .textLayer span, and it seems like in pdf.js they pad text spans so they run into each other, making selection less jumpy, while in react-pdf when the mouse is over white spaces between elements selection behaves erraticaly.
The relevant code is in https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/26ae50e4494aa57b31f305df759fb44ae8be4cd7/web/text_layer_builder.js , they call expandTextDivs onMouseDown. (when using enhanceTextSelection )
Can this be added to react-pdf?

Thanks,
Yuval

Steps to reproduce
