Bug 223289 – [Legacy Line Layout] Incorrect hanging glyph handling with white-space: pre-wrap

• Component: Text
• Status: RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED

Created attachment 423412 [details]
An HTML file with two one-line paragraphs of text containing leading and trailing whitespace.

According to https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-3/#collapse:

> If white-space is set to pre, pre-wrap, or break-spaces, any sequence of spaces is treated as a sequence of non-breaking spaces.

This seems to be the case in Safari 14 for left-aligned paragraphs. But not 

But for for a text element with leading and trailing spaces, text renders like the following (with spaces represented as "_"):

+---------------+
|__text__       |
+---------------+


But right-aligned text renders like:

+---------------+
|         __text|
+---------------+

where the trailing spaces are collapsed.

Attached is an HTML file that demonstrates this.

With the outline removed, IFC (modern line layout) renders the attached test case fine (atm the outline property forces us on the legacy codepath).

@Alan - since now IFC is default, is it something we can close? Or we are still falling back on legacy for this outline case?

There's no such thing as fallback anymore. This progressed with IFC "long" time ago.
