Issue 63283  has been merged into this issue.

Just chiming in; This currently works for Firefox on Windows and boy howdy, it sure does look nice for body content layout. It'd be real nice to see that square for Chrome turn green on http://caniuse.com/#search=hyphens. Thanks y'all.

When can we expect this to be merged?

This issue has been automatically relabelled type=task because type=launch-owp issues are now officially deprecated. The deprecation is because they were creating confusion about how to get launch approvals, which should be instead done via type=launch issues.

We recommend this issue be used for implementation tracking (for public visibility), but if you already have an issue for that, you may mark this as duplicate.

What's the status of this?

I would highly appreciate if this got fixed fast. Now I have to build some ugly workarounds because I can't rely on the hyphens property.

ClusterFuzz testcase 4844788896759808 is verified as fixed, so closing issue as verified.

If this is incorrect, please add ClusterFuzz-Wrong label and re-open the issue.

What is the status of this issue? Is there any people working on it by now?

I'm also very interested in that. Chrome is the last browser not supporting this on Windows :-(

Can commenting be restricted on this issue? It's the same guy spamming from different accounts.

Don't want to spam,but this needs an explanation.

I'm working for a german E-Commerce Platform with around 25k installations out there. We've got serious problems with layout because of wrong and ugly wordbreaks/hyphenations in Chrome/Desktop browsers. There are too much users to ignore this, so we're seeking for a good solution. There are basically 2 ways of accomplishing that: Add another js library and increase page sizes and processing time, or getting all browser to show sane results.

As we would like to see this beeing finally solved in Chrome, we put a Call to vote on this issue in our customer forum here (sorry, german)

https://www.gambio.de/forum/threads/worttrennung-aufruf-zum-abstimmen-fuer-die-behebung-eines-google-chrome-bugs.36529/

We asked people to just to vote and told them not to comment, but some didn't get that right. We didn't mean to cause spam, so really sorry for that.

Concluded: All this votes and comments coming in the last days are real people. This is an issue. We would like to see more priority on this. The standard is nice and dandy, Chrome should support it fully. Even IE11 does which tells something!

A try to stop spam following:

Thanks for your input everyone. We hear you load and clear and will try to prioritize extending the platform support for this feature.
