Is this a bug in IDE's HTML processing?

What I’m trying to do:
Put two lines of text into a Label. This label is in a flow panel, just to the left of a checkbox, in a data row panel, in a data grid, inside a column panel.

What I’ve tried and what’s not working:
In the Properties, field “text”, I enter what I’ve always entered before:

I will be running 
Joint Calculations.

When converted to HTML, however, the property expands to:

prop:text="I will be running 
                    Joint Calculations."

The text inside the property should not be word-wrapped and indented just because it is inside a deeply nested set of HTML elements.

Strangely enough, this extra space fails to cause a problem on one Form – it appears to be removed before display – but on another Form, the spaces are retained, causing visual spacing and alignment issues.

Does anyone know what might be happening here? If not, then I can try to fudge together a sample App that illustrates the problem, e.g., by copying the Forms. The existing App is far too big (and proprietary) to share publicly.

Workaround
For now, I will assign to the latter label’s text property via code:

  self.label_11.text = "I will be running \nJoint Calculations."

Update (3:50pm): other aesthetic changes arrived on these Forms, so it’s no longer an issue for them. If it turns up again, I’ll try to post a sample.

looks like a bug to me, we’ll get that fixed

Thank you, Stu. It’s a relief to know that I haven’t gone entirely loopy. :wink:

Edit: If you need a repeatable example, I think I can point you to a previous commit.
