Summary0000467: Word wrap error
DescriptionIf an anchor tag occurs in the middle of a 'word' then the word can be split at that point across two lines.

Specifically, a sequence such as
(images/dart.jpeg)
can leave the open bracket at the end of a line despit e the fact that there is no white space between it and "photo". Changing the window size can leave the closing bracket by itself on the next line.

This comes from http://www.minimarcos.org.uk/mmhdt.html

This is still a problem. Lines http://www.minimarcos.org.uk/mmhmm.html can be split at any tag even when there is no white space. If you look at page (sorry there is still the pasting on the wrong line bug) by adjusting the window width you can end up with the bracket before or after the link on a separate line. If the brackets are inside the link it is OK.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make NetSurf better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest NetSurf build? Thanks in advance.

This is still a problem. i suspect it can happen with any tag or a comment in the middle of a word.

Yes this is still a problem and it still occurs as described above. Lines can be split at any tag or escaped character where there is no white space.

Situation unchanged. It's really annoying. Please up the priority.

This requires the planned new layout engine to fix and has been assigned a target of NetSurf 4.0 to indicate it.
