So it seems like no one is arguing for anything other than "can't hang, wraps like a fat space" for break-spaces, and the open question is on what to do in the normal pre-wrap case... - We didn't really discuss much whether a mixed sequence of tabs and spaces should be breakable or not, but in any case implementations don't break in such sequences so we should go with that. - We're not agreed on whether tabs are allowed to “hang” at the end of the line or not. (Hanging means they aren't measured when we measure the size of text on the line for the purposes of line breaking, sizing, alignment, or justification.) An additional note is that the size of a tab depends on where in the line it appears -- not on adjacent context, but on actual position. There are not many use cases for trailing tab characters; one brought up was TSV files, where trailing tabs are significant and denote separate fields. -- GitHub Notification of comment by fantasai Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3869#issuecomment-492699119 using your GitHub account
