Draw Character Highlighting disappears in .svg

Hello,

In Draw, character highlighting (white in the attached example) seems to disappear upon exporting to .svg.

Is this expected behavior?

This comment in Inkscape forum seems to cover the issue:

Since there is no background attribute in a text object in SVG, you’d need to use another method

  • Reduce the size of the text box to as close as possible to the size of the text and give that an Area fill. Or
  • Draw a rectangle behind the text and give it an area fill with None for Lines
