Cannot type newline in text objects

[Parcly Taxel]

(Trisquel 7.0, trunk r14448) Open the attached file and try editing any of the text objects. When the enter key is pressed, nothing happens on the canvas, but the program thinks that a change has been made and empty <tspan> objects are generated after subsequent text not containing a newline is entered.

Text objects created in the canvas are not affected by this bug; i.e. a newline can be typed in them as usual. This bug should be marked critical, since it easily becomes a regular source of frustration.

The file has been optimized (with whatever tool) and Sodipodi/Inkscape editing information (attributes in custom namespaces) was deleted.

To edit multiline text in Inkscape, the <tspan> elements which are lines (and not inline formatting) need the custom attribute
 sodipodi:role="line"

Related earlier reports (same underlying issue, though the way to get there might differ):
* Bug #366744 “Multi-line text object in plain SVG behaves strangely after re-opening”
* Bug #276456 “Extension bug at creating text elements”

I disagree about bug status 'Critical': Inkscape loads and renders the file correctly; the editing information was removed at some point intentionally (maybe not by the current user, but then likely by the author sharing the file).

Proposing to link as duplicate to one of the earlier report (the symptom is present in any plain, optimized or externally coded SVG file which removes or does not explicitly add the editing information for multiline text).
