Description

Prettier 3.4.2
Playground link

# Options (if any):
--html-whitespace-sensitivity strict

Input:

<template>
  <span>a bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb</span>
</template>

Output:

<template>
  <span
    >a
    bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb</span
  >
</template>

Expected output:

<template>
  <span
    >a bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb</span
  >
</template>

Why?
There was a whitespace between a and b, and it was incorrectly converted to a newline. I've set it to --html-whitespace-sensitivity strict. Why does prettier change whitespace.
