STR: 1. open https://wiki.mozilla.org/images/2/29/Sms-bug-handling-flow.svg 2. copy a multiline text 3. paste in a text editor Expected: * I get either new lines or spaces between words Actual: * I get no separator at all when I have a line break I generated this SVG using LibreOffice Draw. I understand this could also be a bug in LibreOffice Draw and that the SVG looks quite dirty by some standards. Still, can't we do something in Firefox? (note: Chromium seems to have the same behavior)
You get no spaces because there are no spaces in the source. It's just broken by changing the x,y position of the text elements. This needs to be fixed in LibreOffice Draw.

If the text was <text><tspan>H</tspan><tspan>i</tspan></text> and the markup used the tspan to colour each letter in a different colour then adding our own spaces would be wrong.
