Bug Description
Split Text extension doesn't preserve the position of words and characters in the resultant text.
Try:
* Create a text object and type "Split these words"
* Run Split Text extension on it and split Words or Letters
Beginning of the text maintains position. But, subsequent chunks move away from their original places. `Split: Lines` preserve the positions of individual lines though.
I'm using Inkscape 0.91 r13725 on Ubuntu 16.04
Use case:
I use inkscape to create textual music notation for Indian music. ( https:/
I use Split Text extensively- typing in whole lines, splitting and tweaking positions. But, after carefully positioning a few items, if I have to split one of the text objects, it spreads out the text and I'm forced to manually position words/letters again.
