Description
In this optimization change (XmlBaseWriter.cs), there is a mistake which changes the logic in the
XmlBaseWriter.cs. Previously, it checked for the existence of-at the end of a text, but now it is checked at the beginning of the text.Reproduction Steps
Use
.NET 7 preview 1and run this command for any F# project:dotnet msbuild /t:build /pp /p:TargetFramework=net7.0 MyFsharpProject.fsharpIt fails to write for example this element (which exists there for about 5 years)
Expected behavior
Shouldn't throw an exception
