Disable new line with <span> in Text widget

How do I do X?
1

Appsmith version 1.8.13

The text widget inserts an unwanted new line when I use a <span> tag.

this is a <span style=color:#ff0000 ; > span </span> thing
results in:

This is a
span
thing

I want everything on one line like this (with ‘span’ in red which I can not show here)

This is a span thing

but I can’t do it. This used to work before the (or my) update te version 1.8.13 last week. The span tag is an inline element and should not intoduce a new line like block elements do. I tried to use ‘white-space: nowrap’ and ‘nobr’ to force-disable the new line but that does not work.

How do I disable the new line with the span tag in the text widget?
