For example, at http://www.mgubs.ru/projects/variant1/about/appeal.html (sorry,
page in Russian) main text on yellow background has words with $shy;
combinations.  If such word lies at the end of line, there should be no need to
move whole word to the next line, but only a part behind soft hyphen (for ex.
DIVI- and SION at the next line). W3C standards write about it. MSIE browser
does it. Mozilla doesn't.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a text at the webpage with words long enough and combination ­
right in the word.
2. Make the column containing this text narrow enough (you can just resize window)
3. Look how does Mozilla move this words with ­ combination to the next line.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla ignores ­ combination in text.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should move words partially, by ­, using (-) sign, and no only by
spaces.
