During one of my latest coding sessions I've encountered a weird problem with hyphenation in Safari browser when selecting text.
It only happens to word that is hyphenated but can potentially fit whole on next line.
Here is a playground I've prepared for debugging (not that it helped me much).
Steps to reproduce:
- Open this pen in Safari
- Highligt text in gray box
- Observe the weirdness
- Look for solution
const resetButton = document.getElementById('reset');
resetButton.addEventListener('click', function() {
let textElement = document.getElementById('text-block');
textElement.remove();
let div = document.createElement('div');
div.textContent = 'asdasas asdasdugas';
div.id = 'text-block';
document.getElementById('wrapper').prepend(div);
});
#text-block {
-webkit-hyphens: auto;
margin: 0 auto;
display: block;
background-color: #dedede;
width: 100px;
}
button {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="text-block">
asdasas asdasdugas
</div>
</div>
<button id="reset">reset</button>
- Please the code was prepared really quickly and in a rush so I don't burn much time on it. So I know there is about a million better ways to write it.
Thanks for every help that I will be able to get and I hope this thread will help others as well.
