334661 - xml:space="preserve" ignored when rendering text element content

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 319786

(Core :: SVG, defect)

Description

[Martin Honnen]

I think <http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/text.html#WhiteSpace> is rather clear that white space should not be stripped and not collapsed if xml:space="preserve" is indicated on an SVG text element but with Firefox it seems xml:space="preserve" is ignored and sequences of white space are collapsed to one space.
Test case at
<http://home.arcor.de/martin.honnen/mozillaBugs/SVG/textXmlSpacePreserve1.svg>
has three SVG text elements where the last one has xml:space="preserve" as an attribute but Firefox (latest nightly on Windows XP Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060419 Firefox/3.0a1) renders all three elements the same as e.g.
Kibo & Xibo
while the last should be rendered as
Kibo   &   Xibo
