New issue 7052 by tal.ayal.cohen: Newlines in Hebrew text not translated  
into spaces when nikkud is used
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=7052

Chrome Version       : 2.0.157.2
URLs (if applicable) : http://benyehuda.org/ginzburg/Gnz002.html
Other browsers tested:
   Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
      Safari 3: Not tested
     Firefox 3: OK
          IE 7: OK

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Minimal HTML that causes the problem:
1. HTML document RTL text with newline in the middle of the text.
2. The line after the newline includes a nikkud character.

What is the expected result?

The newline should appear as a whitespace when the HTML is rendered.

What happens instead?

No whitespace appears between the two words, the one before and the one
following the linebreak.

In the example URL: http://benyehuda.org/ginzburg/Gnz002.html the header is
3 words; try it out in IE or FF to see. In Chrome, the first two
(rightmost) words are welded together -- the space is gone. In the HTML
source, this space is a newline.

I have found that the problem appears if the text after the newline
includes a diacritic (nikkud) character. Here is a minimal HTML that shows
the problem -- it clearly includes 3 words, but is rendered as 2 words:

------begin HTML-----
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1255">
</head>
<body>
<p>שורה
ועוד שוּרה</p>
</body>
</html>
-------end HTML------
