    Hello,
    I’ve had a weird issue on several posts : the hyphen added by the plug-in for an hyphenation (in French) doesn’t appear on Chrome mobile (while it does on Firefox mobile), would you know what could cause this ?

    For instance on the attached post, this sentence appears like this on Chrome mobile :

    Le pouvoir turc a fait savoir qu’il se moque des réactions internationales et que cela ne fait que le ? renfor
    cer ?.

    and like this on Firefox mobile :

    Le pouvoir turc a fait savoir qu’il se moque des réactions internationales et que cela ne fait que le ? renfor-
    cer ?.

    For information, I use WP Rocket as a cache plug-in.

    Thanks for your help.

    It’s probably a font rendering issue. Have you checked the Mobile Chrome bug tracker? I don’t have an Android device so I can’t test this (Chrome on iOS uses Webkit for rendering due to Apple’s app store rules).

    Unfortunately I can’t figure out a way to make Remote Debugging work with my computer running Ubuntu…

    It could be a font issue. Are you using the system font in the mobile CSS?

    I could reproduce the issue on desktop using Chromium (guess it’ll work on Chrome too) in development mode by selecting Galaxy S5 in the list of devices. You can see the HTML code here
    And I use the font-family:'Open Sans', sans-serif;.

    Thanks, I’ll try to reproduce the issue in the next few days. Still, the source code looks correct and unless it is triggered or ameliorated by some CSS settings, there is nothing the plugin can do about browser rendering. You should probably report as a bug with Chromium/Chrome (if they don’t yet have it in their tracker).

    Hi @maloherry, I’ve checked your example page in Chrome 77.0.3865.120 (macOS) and I cannot reproduce the issue even when setting it to emulate the Galaxy S5. The soft hyphens are rendered correctly.

    It might be related to Chromium bug #587918, but I can reproduced that so it might be a similar issue caused by something else. To try to triage things, you could check if it still happens when you change the font stack to use system default fonts.

    Thanks! So it’s related to the new layout engine. There have been some issues with hyphenation with that before (fixed in beta), glad it could be reproduced.
