Twenty Twelve: Tagcloud has tags hyphenated over line breaks

[xuhdev]

I'm using theme TwentyTwelve and I observed that tagcloud has tags hyphenated over line breaks. I suggest to fix it by adding the following to the stylesheet:

.tagcloud {
  -webkit-hyphens: none;
  -moz-hyphens: none;
  -ms-hyphens: none;
  hyphens: none;
}

Maybe this can even be put somewhere that applies to all themes...

Twenty Twelve - tag cloud with long tag hyphenated

[laurelfulford]

Thanks for reporting this issue, @xuhdev!

I can recreate this issue -- oddly, the tag "this is a tag that is a long sentence not a word" gets hyphenated, breaking 'sentence' over two lines, but the tag "Loooooooooooooooooooong" just runs out of the content space (instead of breaking over two lines).

The culprit looks to be this CSS:

.widget-area .widget {
    -moz-hyphens: auto;
    hyphens: auto;
    word-wrap: break-word;
}

Removes hyphenation and changes word-wrap: break-word; to word-break: break-all; for complete browser support

@laurelfulford could you check my patch in various browsers on a Mac? It works for all in Windows. Also, not sure if this is the approach we want to take. Would love to get your opinion on it. I like it because it allows for consistency across all browsers. I'm going to check this issue against the other Twenty Themes.

I have just been testing this and it doesn't work for longer words on mac, which I think is where right now this issue is the most noticeable. I will share an image of what on Safari this looks like with patch today. I think we have to face the reality this has sat for a while in the theme. If we want to fix I would suggest we resolve across all browsers, if we don't we just leave it.

My current recommendation would be to close this issue as time has passed and it is a very edge case of an edge case. That said I am happy for discussion so leaving it with a recommendation to close for discussions.

I am going to follow through and close this now, thank you everyone.
