Misplaced EditableText in Template on Mac

[wandererfan]

continued from https://www.forum.freecadweb.org/viewto ... 86#p316890

I'm using MacOS and have issues with relocated editable texts when using "Insert new default Page" or "Insert new Page using Template":
The same relocation happens when altering an editable text on a correctly displayed page made with an older version.
It seems that the way svg files are rendered has been "improved" from 0.18... to 0.19...

This is not the same issue as the one on Windows in the original post.

No difference between v18.3 and v0.19(freecad-daily) here.

Everything ok here, 0.19 and 0.18 are alike and are alike with wandererfan's:

I use FreeCADs Templates Ax_Landscape_ISO7200TD.svg or TestTemplate.svg to reproduce the error.
For the TestTemplate it doesn't matter if It's from the 0.18-16117 or the 0.19-17499 package.

TestTemplate opened with 0.18-16117:

TestTemplate opened with 0.19-17499:

In this case even the non-editable "A4" is misplaced.

My copies of the ISO7200TD templates all display correctly in Inkscape. Please try the problematic templates in Inkscape and let me know if they look right.

Just clutching at straws here, but try the attached template, please.

Also, please post TestTemplate.svg. This is another long shot, but best to rule out a template problem.

Thanks for your efforts, but I found the error now: I was assuming that the newest templates were automatically used, but they weren't and I used outdated Templates. The up-to-date Templates work like expected.
The difference between older and newer templates is a piece of description in the svg files which is removed in the newer templates except the TestTemplate.svg:

<text
freecad:editable="FC-SH"...
...-inkscape-font-specification:Arial"
xml:space="preserve">

Just remove xml:space="preserve" from the <text> tags and the problem is solved.

This may be helpful for customised templates that misplace editable texts after switching to 0.19.

Now that I know what to search for, I have found the "TechDraw Templates" page in FreeCADs Documentation (again after a while) and the last point under Notes deals with this issue.
