Not sure if this is properly an SVG bug or an editing bug. See the sample page. If you make a text selection, it disappears when your mouse is not directly over text (e.g. when it's between lines).

The reason why this issue causes is that spaces between text is not on the text element, but on the its parent element (svg in this case?).

This appears to be a bug in SVG's hit testing code. (In reply to comment #1) > The reason why this issue causes is that spaces between text is not on the text element, but on the its parent element (svg in this case?). In HTML land, we "collapse" or "fold" points around line boxes (e.g. in padding, etc...) into line boxes to avoid this problem.
