WebElement::getText provides confusing javaDoc

[dr29bart]

Selenium Version: 3.12.0
Current version of WebElement::getText says that result will be "without any leading or trailing whitespace", which makes me think that String::trim method is used before value is returned.
This is not true:

Expected Behavior -

Option1: getText() must always trim result according to javaDoc.
Option2: javaDoc must indicate that there are exceptional cases

Actual Behavior -

getText() does not always trim result

Steps to reproduce -

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;

public class T {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        WebDriver webDriver = new ChromeDriver();
        webDriver.get("https://jsfiddle.net/2dp8Lc90/show/");
        new WebDriverWait(webDriver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.frameToBeAvailableAndSwitchToIt(0));
        String styledText = webDriver.findElement(By.id("styled")).getText();
        String preformattedText = webDriver.findElement(By.id("preformatted")).getText();
        System.out.println("Does trim() affect resulted text in case#1="
                + !styledText.trim().equals(styledText)
                + " case#2="
                + !preformattedText.trim().equals(preformattedText));
        webDriver.quit();
    }
}
