Problem description
Stories on aliceayel.com have a feature where if you click on the word, a dictionary entry pops up. I think this feature is causing problems with Chrome. Firefox works fine. The selection is transferred to EasyDict, but almost all of the spaces are removed.
Is the issue consistently reproducible?
Reproducible
Steps to Reproduce
I've created a repro that works in Firefox, but fails in Chrome:
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<style>
/* This is the essential part that causes the bug */
w {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<w>dont</w> <w>une</w> <w>ménagère</w>
</p>
</body>
</html>
- Load this HTML into Chrome on Mac
- Select the "dont une ménagère" text
- Choose "select translate" in the EasyDict menu
- Observe that the input text is missing spaces.
