           Summary: Typing Option-space should insert  
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Editing
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dwood at karelia.com

When I type in the following, with _ representing option space:

We use Blammo_2, the Quicker_Picker_Upper, for our tapestry needs here in
Nova_Scotia.

I want to ensure that the space in those places is explicitly non-breaking,
meaning that they won't word-wrap.

When typed into TextEdit, resizing the window does the expected -- those
nonbreaking spaces never break.

When typed into Blot (not TOT, but I don't think there's much difference), this
doesn't happen at all.  The HTML is:

<HTML><HEAD><META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=UTF-8"></HEAD><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode:
space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">We use Blammo 2, the Quicker
Picker Upper, for our tapestry needs here in Nova Scotia.</BODY></HTML>

Note that there is *no* distinction between what I typed as option-space and
space.  They are all plain spaces.

What I would expect, and hope, to get would be something like this (ignoring
the special styles):

We use Blammo 2, the Quicker Picker Upper, for our tapestry
needs here in Nova Scotia.

Anything other than this just doesn't make any sense to me!  (IMHO)

(Note: this is submitted after some description on the webkit-dev list)
