Currently, in normal (Latin) text, soft hyphens (­) are never rendered (see bug 9101 for detalis). However, in non-Latin text, soft hyphens which happen to be at the beginning of text frames are rendered. This is especially visible in bidi text, where every switch for one direction to the other forces a new frame.
Attached file testcase
This testcase contains a soft hyphen before and after every character. None of these hyphens should be displayed, however, many of them currently are displayed (as hyphens). This is probably not Mac-specific. Please test this (using the upcoming testcase) with other OSs and comment.
