Hi Jim,



I’m withholding my vote until Eric’s and Stefan’s commentaries are addressed.

Note that the standards-based name of the CSS is overflow-wrap, word-wrap is the non-standard original Microsoft implementation.



See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/overflow-wrap <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__developer.mozilla.org_en-2DUS_docs_Web_CSS_overflow-2Dwrap&d=DwMFaQ&c=WJBj9sUF1mbpVIAf3biu3CPHX4MeRjY_w4DerPlOmhQ&r=CueeOhb9CA5L2yfl16hThwCe1zS5LdHYD5MikPNgKr4&m=kyruLKZZKiWIk0-y23eUr8qWeuu85glAWjUruYFfO0M&s=r4-UKjaCyR3fBHZrC3iXjVrGOc7Y0OGQEpmcZnj2s2I&e=>



word-break on the other hand is a totally different thing (as seen in the examples of the URL above)



The draft also says “Note: IE and Edge only support this declaration when used with the "*" selector.” – I would be interested in a source for that, I can’t find such information on MDN and am not aware of any case for other CSS properties where that is true.



Thanks,

Eric

      I think there is a typo in the example css:



      *    word-break: break-word: Allows words to be broken and wrapped between letters.



            .wrapped {

            word-wrap: break-word;

            }
