Word breaks in parallel mode could confuse reviewers

Problem to solve

When reviewing changes in parallel mode, a word could potentially break in two instead of wrapping entirely to the next line. This could potentially be confusing to reviewers who are not familiar with the additions, or if the broken word segments look like two words themselves. For example, you can see here that Issue becomes Is sue

Focus personas

• Delaney (Development Team Lead)
• Sasha (Software Developer)

User experience goal

The intention of the changes in clear when reviewing an MR, especially in terms of copy additions.

Proposal

TBD

💡 Ideas:

• MVC: Add some education around the fact that words break in certain modes
• Allow users to turn word-break: break-all off somehow

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

• There is less back and forth conversation clarifying items that became unclear due to the format of the review
• There are less suggestions or changes mistakenly being applied
