Assume the following xml file:

<test>

   <field name="report_name">event_third_party.template_event_third_party_summary</field>

   <field name="report_file">event_third_party.template_event_third_party_summary</field>

</test>

In xmlWhitespaceSensitivity: ignore mode, signficant whitespace is sometimes inserted to cut long lines, so we get:

<test>
    <field name="report_name">
        event_third_party.template_event_third_party_summary
    </field>
    <field name="report_file">
        event_third_party.template_event_third_party_summary
    </field>
</test>

For our application, the inserted space in field elements is significant.

In strict mode the issue does not occur, but then most automatic indenting is disabled.

My feeling is that, in ignore mode, the text content of an element should never be modified as soon as there is a non-whitespace character in it.
