pdf editing and saving messes up entered text.

I use gimp to enter text and signatures into a regular pdf document. Ie,
I read in the pdf, enter the text and then save the result as a pdf
document. HOwever, it messes up. What looks perfectly fine on the gimp
page and when saved as an xcf file, does not look OK when saved as a
pdf. Instead the last work in each line is dropped down the the next
line.
Thus if I have
Nov 25/16
as line that I entered, it comes out in the saved pdf as
Nov
25/16
or
This is an entry text
comes out as
This is an entry
text
This is of course not what I want.
Now, I can Merge down the various layers created when I entered the
text (one for each line of text entered) I should not have to do that
extra 20 steps (one for each line of text).
What is going wrong here.
This has been true on gimp 2.8.10 on Centos and 2.8.14 on Mageia 5
