Description Roman Kalukiewicz 2004-04-15 12:12:38 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I found error in displaying: http://www.idg.pl/news/65649.html

They used <wbr> tag to enforce word breaking in URL lines (I don't know if it is standard HTML tag, or it is only way to enforce word breaking by including unknown tag).

You can see the same behaviour with such page:

<html>
<body>
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
<a href="http://foo.bar/qwerty">foo.bar<wbr>/<wbr>qwerty</a>
one two three
</body>
</html>

where "one two three" is underlined like it would be the part of original <a> tag.

Maybe it's fault of author of this page (strange <wbr> tag) but I think such tags should be ignored (Mozilla handles this page correctly).

The same situation with known <br> instead of <wbr> works fine.

confirming for 3.4.0
shouldn't mess up the <a> tag.

<wbr> is a real tag, BTW
