Description Mike Kaganski 2017-07-07 08:52:26 UTC
Created attachment 134524 [details]
A test document with runs with and without xml:space

Attached document has leading and trailing whitespace (tab and space) characters only in first line when opened in Word. Also, tabs between words also exist in first line. Second line has neither leading/trailing whitespace, nor tabs.

In LibreOffice, the two lines both have leading/trailing whitespace, and tabs between words.

The problem is absent handling of xml:space attribute (see paragraph 2.10 of XML 1.0 specification and 17.3.3.31 of ECMA-376-1:2016).
