Summary SVG tspan positioning bug with xml:space="preserve"

Created attachment 478860 [details] testcase When SVG <tspan> elements have xml:space="preserve" and are separated by whitespace text nodes (typical of indented markup), the tspan x/y positions are assigned to the wrong characters. This causes text to be visually split and mispositioned. <text transform="translate(300 300)" fill="black"> <tspan font-family="Helvetica Neue" font-size="16" x="120" y="70.34399" xml:space="preserve">A</tspan> <tspan font-family="Helvetica Neue" font-size="16" x="120" y="88.79199" xml:space="preserve">AB</tspan> <tspan font-family="Helvetica Neue" font-size="16" x="120" y="107.23999" xml:space="preserve">Z</tspan> </text> Renders in Firefox/Chrome A AB Z Renders in Safari A A BZ
