as it were, I was wrong in this complaint... it seems the "error" in output was not any problem with Inkscape at all, but rather, the browser on my linux system... the file does display correctly on an SVG compliant browser.

After working with Inkscape SVGs for a while, I've discovered another problem... this concerns the difference between (there shouldnt be one, that is) an original SVG with multiple text lines, and the saved version of this.
I have an SVG with three lines of text, all produced with the text tool...
.....This is line one / indented This is line two This is line three
...but... when I save this SVG, the first line loses the indented spaces
LINE One now here This is line two This is line three
I am thinking this has to do with all three lines being one object... in other words, Inkscape is just aligning all text to the left extreme, even though this isnt where I placed it.
Anybody know how to fix this ? Is it a bug... a setting I havent used... or just normal behavior for multiple lines of text ?
thanks
