Bug Description
Reproduced in 0.91 on debian jessie.
Steps to reproduce:
- import the attached pdf file, page 11
- select the text in the orange box: "que l'océan superficiel..."
- go to "text" -> "text and font"
- make a modification to the text (e.g., add a space) and click "apply"
=> the justification of the text is lost, everything is justified to the left now.

Text imported from a page of a PDF file as text is "absolutely kerned" (the position of glyphs is defined in coordinates relative the page) - Inkscape cannot edit such text without removing all absolute x-coordinates of the characters first (via menu 'Text > Remove manual kerns'), otherwise inserted or replaced text will render with the same x position (i.e. on top of each other).
