Description wolthera 2025-12-08 14:53:30 UTC 
Created attachment 187426 [details]
Test file with white-space only test content elements.

SUMMARY
This was caused by https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/commit/153fa48b513b53d773cfbfc3bcb3c125703f8c2c

Qt5.15: https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QTBUG-92369#icft=QTBUG-92369

Qt 6 has https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qdomdocument.html#ParseOption-enum



STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open test file in krita and firefox.
2. Notice that the second text has overlapping text in krita
3. This is caused by carriage return getting stripped, because it is alone in its text content element.


OBSERVED RESULT

White space only text content elements do not get loaded, leading to removed white spaces.

EXPECTED RESULT

White spaces will get loaded.

This really needs to be fixed before 5.3, as it'll result in data loss in certain situations.
