The Safari bug that never was (2022)
FTA: <i>“And in the font we use on GOV.UK, the new line character has a bigger width than a space character – which is apparently unusual.<p>[…]<p>One of them incorrectly used the width of the new line character in its calculations, and so the box that it made was too small.”</i><p>I don’t understand that explanation. If the newline character in the font is wider than a space, why would the box end up too small if width calculations assume a newline will be rendered where the actual page will use a space?<p>(full bug report is here: <a href="https://github.com/alphagov/reported-bugs/issues/66">https://github.com/alphagov/reported-bugs/issues/66</a>, but I don’t think see it linked with a WebKit issue)
