Text-in-a-shape can be put on Path, but loses the textPath when saving
Steps to reproduce:
- open Inkscape
- switch to text tool
- click, drag a text box, then type (multiline is more interesting)
- switch to Bézier tool, draw a curved path
- select both objects, Text > Put on Path - now even multiline text can be put on a path. Is this correct according to the specification?
- save, close, reopen
What happened?
Text has lost the connection to the path.
What should have happened?
Text-in-a-shape should either:
- refuse to be put on a path
- be converted to normal text, with loss of line breaks
-
if the specification allows it, keep its textPath tags on save(not allowed, see Tav's comment below)
