Steps to reproduce:
- enter a document (tested in notepad)
- write a line of great than or equal to [display-num-of-chars] characters (in my case, 40 with an APH Mantis Q40, but have also tested this on a BrailleNote Touch Plus with 32), in such a way that one of the words ought to end on the last cell of the display.
- observe unexpected behaviours as described
Actual behavior:
(the Braille Viewer is not easily letting me copy out of it. I will investigate this further and comment with Braille Viewer output, but in lieu of that output I will endeavour to describe this issue to the very best of my abilities for now).
(presuming one is on a 40 cell braille display and that the Braille table is set to Unified English Braille)
The following line:
There is something I really need to say, but I cannot bring myself to say it. I never can.
is displayed in two Braille lines, the first of which has three blank cells at the end
Expected behavior:
The first line should end on the word "cannot" (dots 456, dots 14) and thus optimally use all the available space on the display.
Contrastingly this similar line:
There's something I really need to say, but I cannot bring myself to say it. I never can
is displayed in two lines as well, the 39th cell being dots 14 to end the word "cannot", and the last cell left blank as expected.
