I found that when editing a flattened comment written in Japanese, unintended whitespaces are inserted in the wrapped part of the original text. This issue is probably common to double-byte characters. I found this issue while creating the recent verification video.

I have captured screen of verification process for your reference, please see the attached video for details.
- Step 1 [00:03] Create a text box comment and enter Japanese text across multiple lines. It is easier to check the issue if you do not include whitespaces or punctuation.
- Step 2 [00:17] After copying the comment, flatten it.
- Step 3 [00:31] Enable content edit mode and insert a whitespace in the first comment. So far, it is working fine.
- Step 4 [00:36] If you insert whitespace in the same way for the second and subsequent comments, unintended whitespaces are inserted in the wrapped part of the original text.
- Step 5 [00:45] Save the file, close the application, and reopen the file.
- Step 6 [00:56] Enable content edit mode and insert a whitespace in the first comment again, and unintentional whitespaces will be inserted in the wrapped part of the original text as before.
- Unintended whitespaces are inserted in Step 4.
- The behavior changes between Step 3 and Step 6 despite the same operation.
Up to this point, I have written this assuming double-byte characters, but if you perform a similar operation on a single-byte character of the alphabet, the whitespace in the wrapped part will be removed. For example, in the verification above, "漢字" is copied continuously in the text box, but try to copy "WORD " that includes a whitespace at the end instead. After the operation in Step 4, the word wrapped part should become "WORDWORD". Unlike in the Japanese case, the issue starts with the first flattened comment. That is, Step 3 described above does not exist. I have also captured screen of verification process, please see the attached video for details.
Therefore, I have chosen a title of this topic that does not limit the content of the issue to double-byte characters.
- Editing a flattened text comment unintentionally inserts or removes whitespace at the wrapped part
Thank you so much for your continued support.
