text_surface:get_size() returns zero for space character(s)

[llamaizing]

If a text_surface has text comprised entirely of space characters, then text_surface:get_size() returns 0 for both return values. This happens both for outline fonts and bitmap fonts.

Example: text_surface:set_text" " --2 spaces text_surface:get_size() --returns 0, 0 text_surface:set_text" a" --2 spaces followed by a text_surface:get_size() --returns 14, 18 text_surface:set_text" " --4 spaces text_surface:get_size() --returns 0, 0 text_surface:set_text" a" --4 spaces followed by a text_surface:get_size() --returns 20, 18

• Talk to an NPC to bring up the conversation dialog
• There is a text field where the player can enter text using the keyboard
• The text field has a blinking text entry cursor that has its horizontal position set to the first return value of text_surface:get_size()
• Enter several spaces in the text field and the blinking cursor does not move
• Now enter a non-space character and the cursor jumps the distance of the spaces plus the non-space character
