Bug Description
I'm having a problem with some imported PDFs. When I try to edit some text (removing manual kernings before doing it) I can enter type but not spaces. The only workaround is to enter the whole text without spaces between words, then inserting spaces in-between.
Please notice that this is not a complain about having to remove manual kernings before editing. It's something else.
I attach a file with a simple PDF created from OpenOffice Writer.
To reproduce the described behavior, import the pdf file into inkscape, select the text, remove manual kerning and edit. Spaces can't be typed after words, but the can be inserted after, between the words.

Not reproduced with Inkscape 0.47pre4 on OS X 10.5.8
I can insert spaces while inserting (typing) new text into the 'this is a test' sentence. Maybe related: I do not have the font 'OgilveTwoBold' installed and all text is rendered with the default font 'Bitstream Vera Sans'.
Gez - do you still see this issue with current prerelease versions?
