Steps to reproduce:
- Save and open the following HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Hyphenation Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hooray for Hyphen­ation</h1>
<p>This text contains some Hyphen­ation. Hope­fully it is not in­com­pre­hen­sible. Usually NVDA can process soft hyphens in documents pretty well, but did you notice the previous word "incomprehensible"?</p>
<p>Pay attention to the word "pronunciation", which is pronunced differently with soft hyphens in it:</p>
<p><strong>With: </strong> "pro­nun­cia­tion"</p>
<p><strong>Without:</strong> "pronunciation"</p>
<h2>Pro­nun­cia­tion is the key to under­standing the spoken word</h2>
<p><strong>Did you know?</strong> Soft hyphens have been around since the 80s!</p>
<p>The next heading does not contain hyphens.</p>
<h2>Pronunciation is the key to understanding the spoken word</h2>
<p>It's a pitty hyphenation cannot be reliably applied via CSS.</p>
</body>
</html>
- Read the document with NVDA.
- Access NVDA's Element Browser via the NVDA-key + F7.
- In the Element Browser, switch to headings and let NVDA read the entries to you. (Soft hyphens are shown in the display.)
Actual behavior:
Soft hyphens are splitting words and causing odd pronunciations.
Expected behavior:
Soft hyphens are ignored.
