Chrome adds hyphens

    Hello,
    I have an issue with hyphenation on Chrome/Chromium. The browser adds hyphens where there should only be a space. For instance, this sentence appears like this in Chrome :

    Quelle place la révolution sankariste occupe-t-elle, aujourd’hui, au -
Burkina Faso ?

    on Firefox, it appears the correct way:

    Quelle place la révolution sankariste occupe-t-elle, aujourd’hui, au 
Burkina Faso ?

    You can reproduce the error on this page and by using development tools to display as a mobile.

    Thanks for your help!

    PS: not sure if it related, but we had the opposite problem with Chromium-based browsers not displaying hyphens that were supposed to be here, and it was corrected after I submitted a bug: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/hyphenation-issue-on-chrome-mobile/

    Hi @maloherry, there appears to be a problem in the markup au -­Burkina, i.e. there is soft hyphen just after the space between au and Burkina. How is that line generated? Can you look in the database to see if this extra soft hyphen is put in by wp-Typography or “native” in your content?

    Hi, in the database, the sentence is clean :
    <strong><span style="color: #038e9a;">Quelle place la révolution -sankariste occupe-t-elle, aujourd’hui, au -Burkina Faso ?</span></strong>
    The soft hyphen appears only in Chrome, not in Firefox, which is weird.

    Interesting. Can you please post your settings from Hyphenation and Space Control tabs? I’ll try to reproduce the issue.

    There are often rendering differences regarding “marginal” features such as soft hyphens (and don’t ask me about spaces in Safari! what a nightmare!).

    For Hyphenation :

    [x] Enable hyphenation (french)
[ ] Hyphenate headings
[ ] Allow hyphenation of words...
[x] Allow hyphenation of the components...
[ ] Hyphenate words in all caps
Do not hyphenate words with less than 5 letters
Keep at least 3 letters before hyphenation
Keep at least 2 letters after hyphenation
Browser support: both checked

    Space control:
    Everything unchecked except: Collapse adjacent spacing to a single character, Apply French punctuation rules and Prevent widows.
    Thanks!

    Just a quick update: I’ve managed to reproduce the issue in the underlying library (PHP-Typography).

    @maloherry Sorry for the immediate update, but I’ve looked closer at the line in my code editor and noticed a very small red line in front of some of the words. It turns out the the &shy; is indeed contained in that database snippet (unless you copied that from the frontend instead of the backend editor). I’ve run it through an entity decoder online so that it is easier to see (HTML tags removed):

    Quelle place la r&eacute;volution &shy;sankariste occupe-t-elle, aujourd&rsquo;hui, au &shy;Burkina Faso ?

    @maloherry, have you been able to resolve the issue in your DB content?

    I assume the issue has been resolved. If not, feel free to reopen the thread, @maloherry.
