dojox.html.metrics.getTextBox() returns wrong height for texts including white-spaces

[Jan Schatz]

Due to the width of the measurement node being fixed to 1 pixel, the text that is to be measured will be wrapped if there are any white-space characters in it. This leads to a wrong text hight being returned. This issue could be fixed by disallowing automatic wrapping for the measurement node: m.style.whiteSpace = "nowrap";

Given that no one has shown interest in creating a patch in the past 5+ years, I'm closing this as patchwelcome.

I provided a solution in the description text. I thought that would help. I cannot attach files to this ticket. So here is the patch that works for me:
