Demonstration of issue

Sometimes when a line break occurs on a soft hyphen, the next line is broken after the first word producing 3 lines when there should only be 2. This was seen while testing Bug 56017.

This behavior has been observed on Chrome 9.0.597.107 534.13 (Windows and Ubuntu10.10), WebKitGTK 534.21+, and Windows Safari 5.0.3 (7533.19.4). 

Demonstration of issue attached.
