Bug Description
I occasionally use a lazy line space method, I add a blank line. if I add a space to that line I can select the space and change the font size to alter the line space to my liking.
I'd done this in one document, I wanted to copy the text, so I copy and paste. the text pastes ok but the spaces all reset to the overall font size, when I clicked in the text the "empty" lines had lost the space character. adding a space returned the spacing to how I'd set it. It seemed the font size had been remembered but the space itself had been removed.
To repeat:
Write three lines of text the middle line to contain just a single space.
select the space character and set the font size to 2. (the middle line will shrink down).
select the text object, copy and paste.
behold the object looks different! the middle line no longer contains a space.
Note: The whole font sizing thing is not necessary to show the bug however it shows a case where this behaviour is undesirable, without it the removal of spaces could almost be considered a feature.
