Missing text spacing

[mgei]

I have issues with spacing of text. It occurs sometimes, after I've been doing other things and other plots in R before.

library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
library(ggtext)

mtcars %>%
  mutate(
    transmission = ifelse(am == 1, "automatic", "manual")
  ) %>%
  ggplot(aes(hp, mpg, color = transmission)) +
  geom_point(size = 2) +
  scale_color_manual(
    values = c(automatic = "#0072B2", manual = "#D55E00"),
    guide = "none"
  ) +
  labs(
    x = "Horse power",
    y = "Miles per gallon (MPG)",
    title = "<span style = 'font-size:14pt; font-family:Helvetica;'>Transmission type impacts fuel efficiency</span><br>
MPG is higher for <span style = 'color:#0072B2;'>automatic</span>
than for <span style = 'color:#D55E00;'>manual</span> transmissions"
  ) +
  theme_bw() +
  theme(
    plot.title = element_textbox_simple(
      size = 14, lineheight = 1, padding = margin(0, 0, 5, 0)
    )
  )

Solution was to install the newest version of gridtext using remotes::install_github("wilkelab/gridtext").

Problem was discussed here: https://github.com/wilkelab/gridtext/issues/24

Should we add a minimum version dependency gridtext (>= 0.1.5)?
