Description
hello,
I often use the SVG export from the print layout and there is a bug on the versions 3.
It's impossible to get the text (labels essentially) on text format. It always become vector features even if the box "export labels as contours" is unchecked.

Want to add that I'm seeing this as well. Exporting to SVG used to keep the text as 'text' vs. converting to 'paths'. This was useful for sending exported images to our graphics department (who will always find something to change...!). Version 3.x doesn't supporting keeping text as 'text' even when the option is checked.

Going into Label Engine settings and unchecking "Draw text as outline" for layers you wish to export text as svg text element allows for text export (see attached image). Not sure if this helps with the fix but is a workaround for anyone wanting this functionality in the meantime. Anita Graser's blog https://anitagraser.com/2014/09/20/labels-as-text-in-svg-exports/ details a similar situation with QGIS2.

Well done guys, it works.
A bit complicated, this two parameters controls the same thing but only one works, the most hidden.
So I checked it, the export of text as text is controlled only by the check/uncheck "Draw text as outline" in Label Engine settings. The choices offered during SVG export has no effect whatever they are.
Something to change for the following releases.
Thanks!
