regression in WordWrap AtWordBoundary

The following was once sent to your previous bugtracking system, however I never got an ID assigned which can be followed, therefore I add it again as problem in this new bug tracker. The previous reply from
qt-bugs@trolltech.com contained the subject:
Re: [Issue N260387] regression in WordWrap AtWordBoundary

Also for KDE this is still an unresolved problem.

The reply from my previous task tracker entry got the following response from Qt:

--------------------
This is because the UnicodeTables and harfbuzz recognize a "-" as a soft hyphen ie a word break. If you look at a contribution to add this feature to
src/gui/text/qtextlayout.cpp
then we will seek to add that feature for a future release of Qt for Linx.
