    This is a peculiarity of our formatter: it does not break words. If you
    want to enable a break between digits, intersperse them with zero-width
    spaces: 1​2​3​4​5...

    They have chosen a different method to cope with overconstrained
    layout. It may work well in this case and be less nice in other situations.

    Neither of the above: it's a feature. In any case, it is not safe to expect
    a determinate behaviour in this case: you are in a twilight zone, with
    no spec to control the behaviour. For the sake of portability, you should
    avoid these layouts: either increase the space available, or split
    words to smaller parts with soft hyphens/ZWSPs.
