[CTFXG 2512007] FXGUtils and MXML-G compilation are inserting extra newlines into the generated SWF

If you compile this with FXGUtils or MXML-C then you'll see that there is an extra newline before the word 'Double'.

At first we thought this was a Flamingo problem with not including the newline between <content> and <p> but she says Flamingo correctly drops this and that the whitespace handling rules state:

Basically, the rule being applied in this case is that whitespace which would require both an implicit p and an implicit span is dropped. So the newline and spaces between <content> and <p> are dropped and the newline and spaces between </p> and </content> are dropped. Therefore this is working as designed, per the requirements documents.

Regardless of whether whiteSpaceCollapse has the 'collapse' or 'preserve' value, every sequence of characters between (not within) explicit <p>...</p> tags that is all whitespace is removed; no implied <p> or <span> is generated for them. In the XML DOM sense, every text node that is a direct child of the <text> [content] parent that is all whitespace is removed.

You can look at her notes directly in the Flamingo bug in this bug group.
