Description ghk 2001-10-17 10:01:12 UTC 
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           khtml
Version:           KDE 2.2.1 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

The HTML entity ­ (­) is used to suggest to the browser where a (long) word should be broken if the text wraps to another line.

Konqueror always renders ­ as a hyphen even when the word doesn't wrap. In addition Konqueror never wraps at soft hyphens only at word boundaries.

The preferred solution would be for Konqueror to fully understand ­ and render it invisible when the word doesn't wrap and as a hyphen when the word does wrap.

A simpler solution would be to never wrap at ­ (like today) but always render the soft hyphen as invisible. Always rendering ­ as a hyphen is just plain wrong always hiding it is a bit better.
