Usage of hard space tag causes linebreaks within words

[Benjamin Tegge]

$lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04

$apt-cache policy libass4
libass4:
  Installed: 0.9.9-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.9.9-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.9.9-0ubuntu1 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

What you expected to happen:
Usage of the hard space tag (\h) should prevent a line from breaking.
http://docs.aegisub.org/manual/ASS_Tags

What happened instead:
The line breaks when reaching the screen width, not at the hard space, but within the word.

Example code:
This\hline\hshould\hnot\hbreak\hwhen\hexceeding\hthe\hscreen\hwidth.
Expected result:
This line should not break when exceeding the screen width.
Actual result:
This line should not break whe
n exceeding the screen width.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Have a movie file with an ASS script containing code like described above.
2. Run "mplayer -ass myfile.mkv" and skip to the corresponding scene.

Please test with a newer libass. Thanks

Just tested with 14.04 and lines with hard space seem to be properly rendered on vlc and mplayer.
