Why does TextBlock trims ending spaces from the text?

Question

Here is my TextBlocks

Answer 1

It looks like xml:space="preserve" should do the trick (see Preserving Whitespace in XAML) but that doesn't seem to be working in a Windows Store app (it does in WPF).

If you use the non-breaking space character   it does work

I suppose you could try building a converter on the Text property to check for trailing spaces and replace with non-breaking spaces - presuming the truncation that's happening doesn't occur too early.
