Open the attached score. Click on the first text-line, say. Add a space at the end of the text in "Begin text."

Expected result: The space should show between the text and the line.
Actual result: The space doesn't show up on the score. You have to add another space to make a difference.

See my comment in the linked issue - I suspect we are simply ignoring a single trailing space when it comes to calculating center or right alignment. Could be Qt doing this automatically, not sure. Anyhow, to me it's debatable as to what is expected. I'd personally not be surprised if all trailing spaces were ignored.

On revisiting, it seems that a space added after text forces the text backwards rather than forcing the line forwards. So, AFAICS, by design.
