    What happens now: `<nobr>This is not supposed to break</nobr>` will break lines.

    What should happen: `<nobr>This is not supposed to break</nobr>` should not break lines.

    The <nobr> tag prevents normal line breaking of the text enclosed in the tag. However, if the width of the text container is smaller than the text enclosed in the tag, the text will break is usual.

    Here is an example using version 3.0.6 with the following text: "AB <#ffff80><nobr>CD EF</nobr></color> GH"

    In the above image, the text fits on a single line so no break.

    Line breaks on the space after "EF" resulting in "GH" moving to 2nd line.

    Although "CD" could still fit on the first line, the block of text enclosed in <nobr> wraps to second line.

    Since the width of the text container is smaller than the block of text enclosed in <nobr> we get normal line breaking.

    This is how the <nobr> tag is expected to work. Perhaps you expected a different behavior and if so what was it?

    I get that for static size: However, with auto size on (with a minimum low enough to fit on the same line), the expected behavior was to shrink instead of break.

    Can you post the setting that you have on that text object so I can try to reproduce the behavior?
