Title:
  fix flowed text in svg

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
  New
Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I ran into the problem described at
  http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#What_about_flowed_text.3F

  "If however you really need flowed text, you will have to convert it
  to regular (non-flowed) text by the "Convert to text" command in the
  Text menu. THIS COMMAND FULLY PRESERVES THE APPEARANCE AND FORMATTED
  OF YOUR FLOWED TEXT but makes it non-flowed and SVG 1.1-compliant."
  (emphasys added)

  The part in uppercase is bullshit. If you chose the text and do
  "convert to text", the text completely changes its positioning. For
  example, I have a text centered to a certain area, and it moves to the
  left to an apparently random position.

  Also, if you have decided to keep the flowed text feature, it makes NO
  SENSE to keep it in its current broken status which corresponds to an
  obsolete version of the specs until the SVG 1.2 draft becomes final.
  You should fix the implementation to conform to the current status of
  the standard.
