No break space before a href tag

[Dominique Meeùs-4]

In a situation like some text «~<a href="myref">My Refefence</a>
(where ~ stands for U+A0) Amaya may cut incorrectly like «
My Reference

I made a lot of tests. I'm not able to reproduce this kind of bug.
What is the Amaya version (release, platform) are you using?
Perhaps you have to give us a more complete context (CSS that apply).

Sorry for my late answer. I am in the last stable 11.2 under Ubuntu 9.10.

I forgot in which file I saw the bug but I was able to reproduce it easily just now. It depends indeed on some CSS: text-align: justify.

In the attached example, suppose you display it in a browser window wide enough to have the Amaya link on the first line. You then reduce the window until the link to Amaya is forced to wrap to the second line. In Firefox, the opening French quotation sign, attached by U+a0, goes with the link to Amaya. In Amaya, the non break space is not rendered correctly: the quotation sign may remain alone on the first line.

I installed now the 11.3-pre binary for Ubuntu. Same bug.

Here before <a></a> I may get also the queer extra space that I mentioned in my post of Mon, 02 Nov 2009 08:46:49 +0100 in the case of a comment <!--  -->. If you click some times in the main panel and in the source panel, you may get some queer extra space (in the display — the code remaining unchanged). See attached screen capture. In both case this happens in a paragraph with text-align: justify.

J’essaie de reproduire un défaut observé au passage je ne sais plus où dans le cas d’un guillemet devant un lien « Amaya » dans un paragraphe qui était probablement un des mes alinéas habituels c’est-à-dire comme en typographie traditionnelle justifié et avec un retrait de première ligne (text-indent). En fait, le défaut se présente déjà ici rien qu’avec l’alignement justifié. Cela ne dépend donc pas du retrait de première ligne.
