Inkscape: Text rendering in Chrome

[c0c0n3]

Platform

Windows 7, Inkscape 0.91, Chrome '40.0.2214.115 m' and '41.0.2272.76 m'

Description

If a text block in SVG is styled with white-space:normal;, words will overlap.
Open test.svg in Chrome for an example.
(Note that Internet Explorer 11 renders the text correctly.)

test.svg file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<svg
     xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
     width="1000px"
     height="1000px"
     viewBox="0 0 1000 1000"
     version="1.1">
  <g>
    <text xml:space="preserve"
              style="white-space:normal;"
              x="10"
              y="50">
      <tspan>words will overlap in chrome if CSS 'white-space:normal' is set...</tspan>
    </text>
  </g>
</svg>

Notes

This is an old issue I had on Windows 7 in 2014. Something must have changed
in my Inkscape internal settings on Windows (Inkscape version 0.91) and Inkscape
started adding white-space:normal; to the style of my text.
Until a few days before noticing the issue, Inkscape (0.91, same build) would not
add that style to the text. For example see

• categories/cat-of-all-cats/commutative-squares/com-squares-in-prod-cat.svg

in the maths-notes repo; text in there has no white-space:normal; style.
The Inkscape prefs had it, so I removed it ; keep an eye on it to see if the issue
resurfaces...
