Still with this bug in 2015???

It is especially annoying for a webdev, who needs to clean up his svg files for web publication, then has a lot of text modifications to do like for instance translations. It is already annoying to have the tspan workaround because of browser and Inkscape non support of foreignObject tag which would provide support for text flow... And to need to reedit lines for each new file... Anyway...

This message to complete former information with a lacking point:

In order to re-edit the texts in files saved in plain svg in Inkscape, here's what you need to do :

- First add the sodipodi namespace, paste this in the svg tag :
   xmlns:sodipodi="http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/DTD/sodipodi-0.dtd"

- Then proceed to a replace, for instance editing the svg code in geany,
from: <tspan
to : <tspan sodipodi:rule="line"

Save, and done, it works. Thanks to all in this thread for providing this solution, and hope for a fix soon. A quick fix could be to keep sodipodi rule line in plain svg save...

In case of need my specs:
Archlinux
Inkscape 0.91
