bug: Adds whitespace to <wbr> about work-sans HOT 6 OPEN

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! The reason why it's happening is because there's kerning between /c (slash and c), so when <wbr /> is added, it breaks the kerning... If you check the fonts, the actual wbr character (U+200B) has no width.

This is a tricky one to be honest, you'll find this in other fonts too if you add a wbr character anywhere where there's normally kerning.

Is there a way to combine WBR with the characters on both sides, like you would with f and i in a ligature?

from work-sans.

Not as a ligature but you could apply contextual kerning involving more than 2 glyphs. So technically in a way, but it would not make sense to do so performance wise.

What's the use case where you need to toggle WBR on and off?

from work-sans.

The file header has the name of the file path in full when the file is expanded, but is truncated when the file is collapsed.

from work-sans.

But why is the toggling of the WBR necessary for truncating and collapsing the text?

from work-sans.

It's the other way. When truncated I remove <wbr> so everything can be on one line. Including the icon in the middle of the line indicating a rename.

When it is expanded I show the entire filename text, and add in <wbr>/<wbr> around the slashes in the filename to improve readability with better line break opportunities.
