Ok, so there are

- Incorrect results when get_text_at_offset() is used to get the last
word on the line in wrapped text
- get_text_at_offset() sometimes returns the first line of text when
given the final character's offset
- atk_text_get_text_at_offset sometimes return more than one line when
asking for the line at offset
- atk_text_get_text_at_offset sometimes return an empty line instead of
the line at offset
- atk_text_get_text_at_offset sometimes returns the previous line
instead of the line at offset
- atk_text_get_text_at_offset is broken for CSS-generated content

what do you think we could start with?
(I started having a look at the word one)
