            Bug ID: 138068

                    by default

           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Hardware: Unspecified

We have had a couple sites submitted to us that aren't working for our users due to an interop issue between IE/FF & Chrome/Safari. It seems that webkit based browsers add break-word and -webkit-line-break to contenteditable containers by default, where as FF/IE treat them as the boxes that they originally were, just editable. I brought this up to the CSS WG and there was agreement that Blink/Webkit should change to match FF/IE's behavior. Here is a fiddle that shows the issue: http://jsfiddle.net/pfe9mj4o/10/

Here is the W3C thread regarding the issue: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2014Oct/0408.html
