web developer spacing in HTMLWordElements breaks webpage

A Former User

if you head to my heroku web app on opera browser you will see that if ( HTMLWordElements - not a real thing just to to indicate h1-6 p and a tags, ), if the innerText or TextContent includes a spaces, it ignores its calculated with and breaks the page as if its width was initalized by the display css property. This is an angular 7 app idk if the problem is the custom angular component elements have a bug and i just need a simple upgrade(npm give me problems on my server)

The bug happens if the textContent contains a space, it some how streches out of the body of the webpage and allows the user to scrooll to an empty overflow white space on the left. Hopefully I can find a utf-8 char that can act like a space so this problem goes away

Can you make a minimal test case also?

burnout426 I guess why the opera browser is struggling bad agile development. anyway to solve this use the utf-8 no break space Unicode char in you textContent

I still don't know what you mean. Can you modify the test case below to show what the issue is?

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>Test</title>
        <style>
            p {
                width: 150px;
                border: 1px solid black
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p>Before_&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;_After</p>
    </body>
</html>

Does it have to be a raw, non-breaking space or does the same happen with the entity?
