cutting text

Hi,

When compositing text that has a negative letter-spacing, part of the text is truncated (you can see the W letter for instance in this example): https://codepen.io/bakura10/pen/GRzZaMo

It looks like a similar issue was raised a few years ago and marked as fixed (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156550) so this might be a regression as it's no longer fixed anymore :).

Firefox and Chrome do not exhibit any cutting. The issue is reproducing at least on Safari 16 and 17, I did not try older versions.

Thanks!

I am able to reproduce this bug in WebKit ToT (270003@main).

Both the test landed for bug 156550 and the original issue that motivated that fix still behave correctly, so I think that this is a variation of that problem, not a recurrence.

I am not able to reproduce this anymore on Safari Technology Preview 234. @Karl - can you double check?

@Mic - Can you test with Safari Technology Preview newest build?

Hello,

I can't reproduce it neither, so it has been fixed at some point :)
