When exporting an image with text surrounded by spaces and a white background color the alignment becomes left aligned instead of centered. This looks like a bug that should be fixed.
The image on the left is Designer X7 and the exported image is displayed in IE11 on the right. Notice the text whitespace is changed after exporting to SVG.

This SVG export text alignment bug still exists in Corel Designer X7 Update 4 (version 17.7.0.1051 released 2016-08-10).
This problem still exists when viewing exported SVGs from Designer 2021.5 in Chrome. Is there a way to preserve spaces? When I change the text in the SVG to add the following the spaces are displayed correctly:
style="white-space: break-spaces;"
Our source text has leading and trailing spaces, which are ignored when displaying the SVG in Chrome.
