Argh, that's the result of typing a bugreport too fast, later finding out the real reason and not updating the whole text :-/ Please replace all "white-space: pre-wrap" with "word-wrap: break-word" in the bug description. The second and third paragraph should be: Konqueror with webkit does linebreaks in the middle of a word when using "word-wrap: break-word;" even for short words: Konqueror with webki t does hard linebrea ks for word-wrap: br eak-word, only based on the number of cha racters in a line.

minimal testcase
This is an upstream Webkit issue that affects Chromium as well. Neither Firefox nor KHTML will not do any word wrapping inside a <pre> tag ; as is the case with your minimal test. I dunno if that is a bug as well. Anyhow, there is a similar bug report upstream in Webkit's bug database. See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38222. |
I'm using the latest openSUSE RPMs of KDE 4.8.1. The most relevant package for this bugreport is probably kwebkitpart-1.2.0git20111019-29.2.x86_64 Konqueror with webkit does linebreaks in the middle of a word when using "white-space: pre-wrap;" even for short words: Konqueror with webki t does hard linebrea ks for whitespace:pr e-wrap, only based o n the number of char acters in a line. Needless to say that this makes the text very hard to read. Expected result: only very long words should be broken into multible lines. Example: Konqueror with webkit should do linebreaks only at word boundaries (spaces etc.) or ifsomeoneforgetstoty peaspace. This is also the expected behaviour by W3C, see http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-css3-text-20110215/#word-wrap Quoting from there: (__highlighting__ added by me) break-word An unbreakable "word" may be broken at an arbitrary point __if there are no otherwise-acceptable break points__ in the line.
