Therefore I think that "skum<wbr shy />tomte" or something like that would be better, Neverthe less I'll start using &shy; from now on. Even tough browsers could handle it a bit better (Should probably just be one line or two of code, just make a copy of searchable text and remove &shy; from it and from search query, then perform regular search function. That's a one-liner :) Well, Thank you Mr. Simon Pieters for informing me about the &shy; entity. Best Regards, Frank M.

That state usually indicates that more information is needed from the bug reporter. If you're happy with the spec as it is, WORKSFORME is the right resolution. If you think the spec should be changed, REOPEN the bug. 52417 5 mike 2011-08-04 05:01:16 +0000 mass-moved component to LC1
