Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 957128

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[Christopher Smith]

Attachment: no-hyphen.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131122172900

Steps to reproduce:

Set the CSS word-wrap property to break-word on some HTML element containing a ­ character. Resize the browser to cause a line break at that point.


Actual results:

Firefox breaks the line in the correct location (as for a <wbr>) but does not render a hyphen. (Firefox correctly renders the hyphen when the word-wrap property is removed.)


Expected results:

Firefox should have rendered a hyphen character at the end of the line.

Attachment: Testcase. Also included is a copy with a word and a space prepended, which makes the hyphen show.
