text lines with only spaces empty after copy/paste

[Mike Wiering]

To reproduce:

Use the Text tool and type A [Enter] [Space] [Enter] B, then go back and select the space and change the font size (to change the distance between the lines). Now if you copy and paste this block of text to somewhere else, the space character will disappear and the line in the middle will have the same height as the other lines. The new size is still there, if you go and type another space in the empty line, it changes back to the size you selected.

The same thing happens when you save and open your file.

(Using Inkscape 0.91 r13725)
