Re: [Inkscape-devel] Should select area for text objects include leading and trailing spaces?

Other programs:

Powerpoint: cursor shape changes as it passes over leading and trailing spaces. It allows text boxes containing nothing but spaces.

LibreOffice Draw 4.1.12: cursor shape changes as it passes over trailing spaces but it ignores leading spaces. (Bizarre.) It allows text boxes containing nothing but spaces but the cursor does not change shape as it passes over them. These are selectable by dragging a rectangle out and around the text object.

scribus: draws a text box with an outline that is always visible. Cursor shape does not change entering that box, or over visible or whitespace characters within it.
