Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text-3] overflow-wrap: break-spaces can effect behavior even when there are previous breaking opportunities in the line

Ok, now I understand what you're talking about.

I am not sure I understand why you want that change though. Can you elaborate on "overflow-wrap: break-word shouldn't cause any behavior change, because white space exists earlier in the line."

>From my point of view, there's are many variations that different people can want in different contexts, and the current syntax seemed to me that it enabled all the ones I knew about.

In particular, the variation you seem to want to get rid of (break between t and the first space) is the one that matches command line / terminals / vi and similar things.

That said, this was introduced before line-break:anywhere existed, and maybe now that is sufficient to cover this use case.

In other words, if `white-space: pre-wrap; overflow-wrap: break-spaces; line-break:anywhere` does breaks between the t and space in your example, then I'd probably be OK if `white-space: pre-wrap; overflow-wrap: break-word break-spaces` didn't.

I'm not sure I 100% understand why you'd want to change it this way (and how you'd update the text to make it go that way), but I'd probably be OK with it.
