35286 - [TEXT] Flow should break lines at '-'

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Martin Horwath]

e.g. On the URL there are some texts like this on "Wressnig-Blues-Trio"
Mozilla should break the line after "Wressnig-Blues-" and write "Trio" in the 
next line. 

This causes that the layout breaks on several pages on that site.

all

FYI, 4.72 also does not break on hyphens. Do we need to modify our line/word
breaking algorithm?

I looked around this site a bit, and I couldn't find any broken pages, or any 
evidence that we do word breaking differently than Nav4.  The attached test case 
lays out the same in Nav4 and Mozilla.

ooops, sorry my description was not completly correct...
ns4 has never made a line break at that constructs "Wressnig-Blues-Trio"
ie always break after "-" when the table cell is smaller.

this is not an extremly important feature for pages in english but in german
such constructs have a line break after "-" !

the reason why the pages on the given url are correct is that all those 
nonbreaking lines have been corrected last week for non breaking in ns4.
