Avalonia: TextBlock text wrapping: Sometimes duplicates and leaves characters behind on wrap

Development Setup

• Avalonia v0.9.999-cibuild0006280-beta (latest as of 2020-03-10 at 1:50 PM EDT)
• .NET Core 3.1
• Visual Studio 16.4.5
• Windows 10

Bug description

Sometimes, when wrapping, certain characters are left behind on text wrapping and show up in two places. This only seems to happen with the NotoSans-Italic font (in repro project below); with normal font or default Windows font w/Italic FontStyle, things wrap properly.

This is easiest shown by a picture:

Notice how "applies" gets broken up on text wrapping -- the "a" is left on the first line and appears again on the second line with the rest of the word.

I'm not sure if the --auth line breaking is working right either? I'd prefer that to show up on one line, since there's room, but that's debatable. Edit: As Gillibald mentioned, this is working properly, and the non-breaking hyphen (\u2011) works great in my app.

XAML:

<TextBlock Text="Whether to turn off HTTPS. This option only applies if Individual, IndividualB2C, SingleOrg, or MultiOrg aren't used for --auth."
             Margin="0,4,0,0"
             Width="238"
             FontFamily="avares://ItalicTextWrapping/Assets/NotoSans-Italic.ttf#Noto Sans"
             TextWrapping="Wrap"/>

Thanks!

applies should not be broken into characters in that scenario. For --auth you have to glue everything together. Breaking between -- should be valid.

Will investigate and fix shortly.

This issue is super weird. Somehow Skia renders an extra character with this particular font.

4240 I think I finally fixed this. Still have to verify 😅

Sorry, this bug still exists in 0.9.999-cibuild0008974-beta. (No problem, but since you mentioned needing to verify still, I thought I would check on it.)

[Gillibald]

Too bad. So I need to investigate this further. Thanks for testing.

[Gillibald]

I just ran your project with the latest preview and I can't see any issues

[Gillibald]

Closing because it seems to be fixed

8974 is out of date. I apologize for using the wrong build. I can confirm this is fixed. My bad! 😅
