Created attachment 85180 [details] Demonstration of issue Sometimes when a line break occurs on a soft hyphen, the next line is broken after the first word producing 3 lines when there should only be 2. This was seen while testing Bug 56017. This behavior has been observed on Chrome 9.0.597.107 534.13 (Windows and Ubuntu10.10), WebKitGTK 534.21+, and Windows Safari 5.0.3 (7533.19.4). Demonstration of issue attached.
Can you attach a screenshot? I don’t seem to be able to reproduce the bug as described.
Created attachment 85184 [details] Screenshot of the issue Note that the hyphen appears in this screenshot as I have a proposed patch for bug 56017 installed. Without this fix the hyphen would not be displayed though the line breaks still occur as seen.
This issue was seen w/o the proposed 56017 fix as well.
Which is the unexpected line break? I see three, all accounted for: after “anti”, a soft line break at the soft hyphen; after “aliasing”, a hard line break due to the <br> element; after “new”, a soft line break at a space.

Agreed, this is not a bug. Mistake on my part and should be closed.
