Summary: Line breaks within words in WLC

Initial Comment:
When the Hebrew Bible WLC is open, then line breaks do not occur between words, as would be expected.
Instead, the line breaks occur at the end of a physical line within the window, which means that words are often cut in half.
This occurs regardless of window size or Font type.
This bug does not occur in other Sword software, e.g. Xiphos.

See the attached screenshot for examples.

(I use BibleTime 2.0 on Ubuntu 9.10 - The same error occurs on Kubuntu 9.10 with KDE4.3)
(WLC version 1.4.)

Message:
Can someone confirm this finding: this happens only with words which are
the last ones inside tags, with no characters (e.g. .,") after them. It
happens only with words consisting of non-ascii characters.

Message:
It's not RToL because it happens with Greek (see the duplicated report).

Message:
Could it maybe just be related to the handling of RtoL text like Hebrew or
Arabic? This would be a regression in Qt, because it worked well before.

Message:
I meant that we should find out first what is the actual thing which
triggers this behavior. If the English modules don't do this, there must be
some difference, but which difference? Maybe ascii characters vs.
non-ascii? Or the language tag set in html? Or does this happen with some
English modules, too? The bug is much more likely to be fixed if we can
show where the bug is.

Well one case is Isaiah 65 in WLC as in the screenshot provided. Can't we
use that one?

this is duplicate of 2898235: words cut to two lines in text windows.

We should find a test case, i.e. html code with which this happens and
code with which this doesn't happen. Does it depend on language? Some
nested tags?

If started with --debug the RMB menu of a text window has Save->Raw HTML
command to save the html code of the window as-is. 

If we find the case I can report it to Qt bugs.

Message:
Ok, I can confirm this bug regardless whether there are parallel works or
not. But the bug is Qt specific:

If you export the WLC text as HTML and open it with a Qt WebKit-based
browser (e.g. Arora), you get the same result. This does not happen when
opening the generated HTML file with GNU Icecat (Firefox clone) or
Konqueror (default KDE browser).

Does the problem also occur when you have multiple bibles opened in
parallel?
