CSS word-wrap broken/not working anymore with updated chrome Version 49.0.2623.8

[thanesh kumar]

CSS issue

word-wrap:break-word;

white-space:pre

max-width:300px;

this CSS with the old version of chrome works fine for a table cell. With upgrade this is no more working.

Thanks

This is the second report I've seen that expects white-space: pre to
still break lines. Why do you want to do that?

In the old version if we have a white-space:pre and a max-width specified for a table cell, Max-width will take effect if the cell content is too long with the help of word-wrap we can break into multiple lines.

I meant, what's the point of white-space: pre? You sound like you want
linebreaking, why are you using white-space: pre?

pre helps to display the text exactly the way it is. like a PRE tag in HTML. Text may be of any kind can be a code, tab space white space or a single line of long text. If it is overflowing beyond the max-width insted of showing a scroll bar in a table cell we want to wrap into a new line.

We tried with the White-space:pre-wrap too but the Max-width of the table cell is not taken up.

Now, this does sound like a bug.

You can search crbug.com for an existing issue and star it. If you cannot find one, file a new issue using the "New issue" link on the same page.

Please, do not add a "+1" or "Me too" or "Confirmed" (or similar) comment. It just wastes the time of Chrome engineers and sends unnecessary e-mails to all of the people who starred the issue.

You can reply with a link to the found or created issue and might get triaged (and fixed) faster.

Thank you.

This issue discusses white-space: pre; which is the expected behavior. I was referring to white-space: pre-wrap; not working as expected.

That's specific to textareas. I'd create a new bug report for table cells.
