Mid-word-break #54

Open kojiishi opened 5 years ago

Allow me to confirm since there's a discussion on editing and selection.

Mid-word-break is not a CSS terminology but we call it for when a line breaks in the middle of a word. Specifically, following CSS properties have this behaviors, under certain situations and/or with some restrictions.

These features are often used for code viewing, log viewer, terminal-like sites, text editor-like sites, or pages with long URLs, etc., where some lines may not have spaces at all. As an example, the comment boxes of this github issue page have overflow-wrap: break-word.

Since we're discussing different behavior for selection than UAX#29, can experts here confirm breaking lines at every grapheme cluster boundary when desired is the correct behavior from iip point of view?
