           Summary: -webkit-hyphens:auto; hyphenates runs with
                    white-space:nowrap;
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: nickshanks at nickshanks.com


I use white-space:nowrap; on table cells (along with overflow:hidden; and text-overflow:ellipsis;) to keep rows compact.
When I recently added :root { -webkit-hyphens:auto; } to my User CSS file, I noticed that some table rows would hyphenate, and grow vertically onto a second line, whereas others would curtail on the ellipsis as before.

I realise it is slightly outside the remit of the original CSS declaration, but I think white-space:pre; and white-space:nowrap; should disallow hyphenation too.
