Maybe it would be a good idea to apply this change to the SVN version as well. Hm?

As far as I know, not all words with hyphen character must be line-break, especially for languages different than english, while RichText is UTF-aware.
For example, for unicode character set there are:
- soft-hypen, to manually "hint" about line break.
- non-breaking hyphen and no-break-space, to forbid line break.
- etc.

Also, the Hyphen Wikipedia page mentions about "minus sign", which "should not be confused with" hyphen.

Not to mention about many hyphenation algorithms (e.g. "Liang-Knuth hyphenation algorithm", which uses specially created patterns for selected languages; algorithms, based on vowels, consonants, syllables, etc.).
