Operas problems handling shy/soft hyphens ( ­ )
This site is supposed to show how different browsers handle soft/shy hyphens.
Primarily to show the problems Opera has with showing hyphens, namely:
- if you select text with soft hyphens, the text is not selected properly, the selection gets little holes
- if the text has soft/shy hyphens in, and is justified, the spacing is incorrect,
meaning that the last letters in a line do not end at the end of the line (see especially 3rd example)
- when a shy/soft hyphen should be at the end of the line, the shy/soft hyphen is displayed out side of the line
