Re: [css-text] pre-wrap / pre-wrap-auto

Ok, so as I understand from your examples, you're **not** talking about
overflow in my terminology. We have a little communication problem because
we use same terminologies in different meanings. Let's try other ways to
discuss.

Back up a bit, at use-case level, what you want looks like Example 2 of
UAX#14 Customizations[1] to me. Am I correct? At this moment, I don't care
which browsers behave how, but I'd like to understand what you want.

If not, can you fill in what you expect for some more examples here[2]?
