Re: Text concatenation fault with Chrome and the "clip" technique for hiding text

We have noticed the same type of behavior in multiline headings in MS Office documents and PDFs where we use a soft break to separate the lines. The solution it to remember to put a space either before or after the soft break and then the screen reader will not run the words together. I would imagine that a similar solution would work within HTML by using a nonbreaking space but don't have the bandwidth right now to set up an experiment.

Stay safe,
