Due to language rules, some browsers has decided that automatic hyphenation is not allowed on capitalised words as these are seen as "Proper Nouns". This is indeed true and respects correct gramma within the designated language. However; it creates the bug within the browsers themselves that the first word of a sentence (if capitalised) will NEVER be hyphenated. Also if an editor decides to write a headline in capitalised style, corresponding to the correct language rules of capitalisation. The allowed and truthful capitalised words within this heading will never be capitalised. It is essential for supporting of creative, appealing, content rich and language appropriate hyphenation. Stating that english will NEVER hyphenate a capitalised word is simply wrong. Stating that English will never hyphenate a proper noun is very true. But the detection of a proper noun being by the style of the text seems to be a very vague and incorrect indication. In other words. If this issue can not be handled correctly, maybe it should not have been handled at all in the first place? As mentioned in many other discussions about this issue, an additional hyphenation rule could be added to define whether or not capitalised words should be hyphenated in the given element. -- GitHub Notification of comment by Atnas-dev Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3927#issuecomment-1247678354 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
