Description Kyle UX (chez Tinderbox) 2015-11-23 03:47:49 UTC

When the user duplicates an Artistic Text object with copy and paste, any multiple spaces in a row will be replaced with one single space.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an Artistic Text object.
2. Double click to edit the text.
3. Type "I love     SPACES!". (5 spaces)
4. Exit the text editing mode by clicking the Shape Handling Tool.
5. Select the text and copy [Ctrl + C] then paste [Ctrl + V].
6. Notice the duplicate text presents "I love SPACES!".

Actual Results:  
The row of spaces are replaced with one single space.

Expected Results:  
The contents of the Artistic Text object should duplicate its source content exactly.

I can confirm on 3.0 Alpha 1 on win10

Thanks for testing. This probably is because we save the text as xml which strips double spaces. The text tools need rewriting any case.

This tool has been replaced in 4.0
