Just for comparison, here is the output from QPL 8.15 Beta 2.  There were some changes in the way &nbsp characters were handled in QPL 8.

DrawHTMLTextBox have (I know only 7.26 version) a special behavior with using &nbsp;
1) When I don't use &nbsp; , DrawHTMLTextBox trim start space.
2) When I use &nbsp; , DrawHTMLTextBox wrong divide text between lines.
3) When I use &nbsp; instead of start (and after <br>) spaces DrawHTMLTextBox
  work OK,
but in case "one line text box" for HTML text I prefer draw maximum text in this text box.
May problem is how recognize this case :-)
I do not expect answer, may be this sample will be useful for someone.
 
qp.SetOrigin(1);
qp.SetMeasurementUnits(0);
qp.SetPageDimensions(598.0, 845.0);

int iFontID = qp.AddTrueTypeFont("Times New Roman", 0);

qp.SetHTMLNormalFont("Default", iFontID);

// 1) DrawHTMLTextBox trim start spaces

string textHTML = "      text with spaces over two lines<br>     two line text";

qp.DrawHTMLTextBox(0, 0, 50, 500, "<font size=\"10pt\"><p spacing=\"-1.2\">" + textHTML + "</p></f>");

// 2) DrawHTMLTextBox don't trim start spaces (OK), maximum use box width (OK when I have one line text), wrong divide word at end of line

string pomHTML = textHTML.Replace(" ", "&nbsp;");

qp.DrawHTMLTextBox(0, 60, 50, 500, "<font size=\"10pt\"><p spacing=\"-1.2\">" + pomHTML + "</p></f>");

// 3)
textHTML = "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;text with spaces over two lines<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;two line text";

qp.DrawHTMLTextBox(0, 140, 50, 500, "<font size=\"10pt\"><p spacing=\"-1.2\">" + textHTML + "</p></f>");
