Compare the "button-wrapping" reftest from gtk3

there's some extra spacing now. The test fails. I bisected pango and this commit was the one to break it

    Insert hyphens in more places
    
    Look for whether the char before the break
    is not whitespace and doesn't look like a
    hyphen.

at first glance it seems that need_hyphen would be set for anything which was a 0xad hyphen before, and now it is set for anything which is not a hyphen. And this somehow results in the extra space being allocated.

Is the problem that we are doing this at the end of the text? This fixes it:

but I don't really understand what's going on here, that's probably wrong for some reason (e.g. I just checked this one reftest, not all of them).
