Comment 2 for bug 276456

There are definitely some weird behaviors here. Everytime I hit enter it duplicates the text contents horizontally (ignoring new lines). Very weird.

The tutorial is technically correct. Because it isn't doing multiple lines placing text directly in the <text/> element is sufficient. I don't know how Inkscape should properly behave when making a new line in a raw <text/> element. Perhaps we should place the current line into a tspan and add another.

Thanks for the report.
