Description Beth Dakin 2007-03-27 14:44:43 PDT
* SUMMARY
If you have a line of text with the word-break property set to break-all, long words do not wrap if the text is located within a table.

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. See attached text file for example.

* RESULTS
The first line of text in the sample is in a span and forcibly wraps (correctly) when you resize the window. The second line of text is in a table with a width of 100% and does not wrap.

Bug 13213 sounds like it might be in the same area (assuming the area turns out to be "min intrinsic width calculation for table cells").
Comment 4 Dave Hyatt 2007-03-29 15:27:30 PDT
This behavior was deliberate.  I tested in WinIE when I implemented word-wrap: break-word, and they don't compute minimum width for table cells taking word-wrap:break-word into account.  If they did, there would be all sorts of table constructs that would result in cells with one character per line.
Comment 5 Dave Hyatt 2007-03-29 15:33:32 PDT
This test case works in IE7 though.  My suspicion is that there may be two kinds of min width unfortunately.  Once the containing block puts you under pressure, you shrink further.

Another test
Comment 7 Dave Hyatt 2007-03-29 15:39:46 PDT
The second test shows the problem.  IE7 ignores word-wrap:break-word on it.
Comment 8 Dave Hyatt 2007-03-29 15:43:24 PDT
I just noticed the first case also uses a property called "word-break."  We do not support that property, and it could be why the first case is working.

word-break does not appear to be relevant here.
Comment 11 Dave Hyatt 2007-04-19 00:22:15 PDT
I am wrong about this.  word-break: break-all is key.  word-wrap is completely irrelevant.  Testing with IE7, word-break:break-all causes the cell to actually wrap under pressure.
Comment 12 Dave Hyatt 2007-04-19 00:39:38 PDT
Raising to p1 to match internal bug status.

Is this an IE7 only thing? With IE6 I don't see any difference between attachment 13881 [details] and attachment 13882 [details].

Not for review yet.  Just getting a patch up to track progress.
Comment 15 Dave Hyatt 2007-04-19 01:56:50 PDT
There's a typo in the tests, which is what caused all the confusion in the first place.  Marking them as obsolete to avoid confusion.

Don't look at me.  I didn't design this crazy shit (shakes fist at Microsoft).
