            Bug ID: 162130
           Summary: Don't use hyphenation dictionaries when hyphenating
                    words with mixed caps
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: mcatanzaro at igalia.com
                CC: bugs-noreply at webkitgtk.org, mrobinson at webkit.org

I notice that WebKitGTK+ is hyphenated on my blog as We-bKitGTK+.

To avoid this, we could ignore hyphenation dictionaries when hyphenating words with mixed caps. Maybe the solution is to not hyphenate them at all, or maybe they should only be hyphenated between segments split by caps. But we have to be careful not to count a string of caps as a segment eligible for hyphenation; we don't want to get WebKitG-TK+, for example. Nor WebKitGTK-+.
