Package: libpango-1.0-0 Version: 1.44.7-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Control: forwarded -1 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/issues/438
Please read the linked bug for full details. Upstream commit eb4882cada397268948ec24da046ff75615dfb9e made some changes relating to hyphenation - the part of pango's layouting algorithm that decides when it should insert a hyphen when breaking lines in the middle of paragraphs (because there isn't enough vertical space). Somehow this results in extra whitespace being inserted when it wasn't before. I think this is a regression (i.e. not an intended rendering change). The only practical impact that I know of so far is that it breaks gtk+3.0's reftests. In Ubuntu we had already updated to the 1.44 series before we discovered this impact - as a consequence we have marked the particular reftests as "known fail": https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/commit/?id=315462e7c8cfabc755e6bcb420963e80bba6b22f Cheers, -- Iain Lane [ i...@orangesquash.org.uk ] Debian Developer [ la...@debian.org ] Ubuntu Developer [ la...@ubuntu.com ]
