Description HarryIX CLA 2011-08-05 01:32:55 EDT 
Build Identifier: v20100210-0630

In a text block there is string - Inclded is a person's name eg "Joe Blogs" written as "Joe Blogs". When the PDF is generated because BIRT splits the name over the line even though there is a non-breaking line space. I could hard code a break there, but that is not a solution as the length of the string before the name can vary.
(I am not allowed to split up a name as it should always be on the same line)
I am using BIRT 2.5.2 and have been locked into this version by corporate.
I also have issues with updating the emitter across our system so any error that can be entered into the report as a sript would be beneficial. Thanks

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a text block (html)
2.enter a long sentence
3.run the report and see where the line breaks.
4.go back and edit that break and insert the non-breaking line space  
5. witness the error
