The only case I can think of where hanging space would be worse is when selecting text in <textarea>s. I think it would be confusing to have the hilight extend beyond the textarea. I'm trying to get my patch to gecko merged which improves its handling of pre-wrap breaking. It collapses the portion of the whitespace that overflows the box bounds, because I can do this easily (I'm new to gecko development). I think it's a vast improvement on gecko's current behaviour which is to break in the wrong place (it wraps words to the next line that fit just fine on the current line) It would take someone with more knowledge of gecko than me to implement spaces that hang outside of bounding boxes without triggering overflow/scrollbars/etc. I hope they merge my patch in the meantime. -- GitHub Notification of comment by JasonWoof Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/277#issuecomment-240446215 using your GitHub account
