My apologies if this has already been filed, but I was not able to find a previously reported bug.

I've noticed in Safari and Chrome (on the Mac), and just verified in the WebKit nightly (r71484), that pages using a double-space after a period are sometimes mis-rendered when the period comes at the right margin.

For example, the following page has numerous examples:

  http://www.bothsidesofthetable.com/2010/11/08/why-hulu-is-the-opec-of-online-video/

at the paragraph beginning with "Of course it’s their right to do" has the text on the third line rendered like:

  Of course it’s their right to do ...
  this Innovator’s Dilemma ...
   Hulu Plus now allows ...
  to wide audiences November

(see screenshot attached)   There are other examples in this page.
