Description

Steps to reproduce:
1.text.setStyle("textAlign","right"); or text.setStyle("textAlign","center")
2.text.validateNow();
3.text.measureText(" ").width;

Actual Results:
no matter how many spaces passed in, width always return 0. if you pass a string which ends in spaces, the width of these spaces will be ignored. (it can correctly processing the string begins with spaces)

Expected Results:
actual text width includes spaces

Workaround (if any):
to calculate the actual space width, you have to do something like text.measureText(string+"A").width - text.measureText("A").width;
