Soft carriage return in SVG causes text to be converted to outlines

[Andy Swift]

Until AI 28, when exporting an SVG with soft carriage returns (shift-return in Illustrator), text was not converted to outlines.

With Illustrator 28, Adobe significantly changed the format of exported SVGs (more info).

Now, when exporting an SVG with Font Type: `SVG`, using a soft carriage return (shift return) in Illustrator causes the text to be converted to outlines.

If I create a simple AI file containing only the text "test file", here is the resulting SVG code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 500 500">
  <defs>
    <style>
      .cls-1 {
        fill: #3e3e3e;
        font-family: ArialMT, Arial;
        font-size: 19px;
      }
    </style>
  </defs>
  <text class="cls-1" transform="translate(58.5 71.5)"><tspan x="0" y="0">test file</tspan></text>
</svg>

If I add a single soft return between the two words, I get an alert:

and this is the result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 500 500">
  <defs>
    <style>
      .cls-1 {
        fill: #3e3e3e;
        stroke-width: 0px;
      }
    </style>

I have tried saving as a copy, exporting for web, exporting via JSX with both `exportFile` using `ExportType.WOSVG` and `ExportType.SVG`.

Is there any way to export an SVG that won't cause text with soft returns to be converted to outline?
