206152 - (line-breaking) [meta] line breaking bugs

Status: NEW

Description

[Jungshik Shin]

There are a lot of bugs filed for line breaking so that I think we need a
tracking  bug.

I'm filing this under I18N, but could have filed it under layout.
Most of actions take place in intl/lwbrk and layout/base/src(?)

I added a lot of bugs to 'blocked by this bug' list, but there must be others I
missed. Please, feel free to add them here.

This bug's tracking fields appear to be entirely misconfigured -- meta bugs are 
supposed to *Depend On* the bugs they are tracking, not *Block* them.

Bug 95067 should be part of the list.

Comment 2

[Jungshik Shin]

Indeed. Fixing dependency as suggested.

Comment 3

[Mike Cowperthwaite]

Adding bug 218580: line break should be allowed after slash('/'), unless 
followed by a number

Comment 4

[Jon Henry]

Adding bug 213408. The summary of that bug will probably need to be tweaked, but
it displays a valid issue with soft hyphens that needs discussion.

I'll look into this...I hope.

Comment 6

[Justin Wood (:Callek)]

...ignore my last comment (wrong bug)

Comment 7

[Martin von Gagern]

Probably bug #67715 and/or bug #253317 should be added as well.
They are about automatic hyphenation.

Bug #7969 need dictionary based Thai line breaker and intergrate into line/word breaker
Bug #336959 Line Breaking with Pango/Uniscribe

Comment 9

[Arthit Suriyawongkul]

can we append Status Whiteboard with "[line-breaking]" ?

Comment 10

Maybe we should also track Bug294615 – Search/find fails on words containing soft hyphen (­) ?
Someone who can add a dependency?

Does bug #132561 belong here?  Yes, I know it's marked RESOLVED FIXED.  However, it might have created a new problem; thus, the fix might be backed out.

[Allan Gardner (:Mathnerd314)]

Bug 630181 should be a dependency of this bug.
