Thanks, I know that HTML has that behavior for block elements. But since qooxdoo is not a library for writing HTML documents in the first place but a GUI toolkit, I cannot consider this a feature. When I set the text of a Label, I expect the Label to display exactly this text. Do you say that my expectation was true and the text size calculation fails for strings with leading or trailing whitespace? I guess there are ways to work around that. For example, if the CSS property "display" is set to "inline", the whitespace is not swallowed.
