User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

A word that's written in html as <nobr>home</nobr><nobr>run</nobr> won't break
as home(break)run but won't break at all !!!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Write a word, and enclose it in four NOBR tags, two for the first part of the
word, and two for the second: <nobr>one</nobr><nobr>two</nobr>. Then resize the
browser window (or its enclosing block element) so that the word does not fit.

Actual Results:  
No break in the middle !!!

Expected Results:  
It should break in the middle, between the two NOBR tags, which it does in other
browsers such as IE, but it doesn't.

<nobr>home</nobr><nobr>run</nobr> has no whitespace so how could in break,

use :
<nobr>home</nobr> <nobr>run</nobr>

INVALID ?

This is not necessarily invalid.  It is, however, a dup.

Now you duped against an UNCO bug,
Shouldn't that one be invalid ?

Re:

use: <nobr>home</nobr> <nobr>run</nobr>
________________

If I used a space then it would not be one word, and I wouldn't be needing any
nobr tags.

Just for clarification: "home run" != "homerun"
