Electron Version
18.0.1
What operating system are you using?
Ubuntu
Operating System Version
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, XUbuntu 20.04 LTS, Windows 10
What arch are you using?
x64
Last Known Working Electron version
none (doesn't work with older versions either)
Expected Behavior
Chromium supports hyphens: auto since v88.
To do so, it downloads hyphenation tables to .config/chromium/hyphen-data after startup, i.e. they are not installed with chromium.
It can be reproduced with a simple static HTML page like:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="de">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>Document</title>
<style>
body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
hyphens: auto;
text-align: justify;
}
div {
width: 320px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
</style>
</head>

Kiel (dpo) - Was macht sie nur falsch? Schon seit 12 Jahren versucht Sarah W. ohne Erfolg, ihren Mann zu
vergiften. Doch was die gelernte Heilpraktikerin und Homöopathin auch tut – es will ihr einfach nicht gelingen,
ihren Robert um die Ecke zu bringen. "Langsam verliere ich den Glauben, dass es noch klappt", klagt die
37-Jährige. "Ich verstehe nicht, wie Robert alles, was ich ihm verabreiche einfach so wegsteckt, als wäre nix.
</p>
<h5>lang=de-DE</h5>
<p lang="de-DE">
Eigentlich müsste er schon hundertmal tot umgefallen sein." Dabei war sie im Frühling 2010 noch voller Hoffnung
gewesen, ihren lästigen Ehemann bald los zu sein: "Ich hatte mir Arsen besorgt, eines der wirksamsten Gifte, die
es gibt", berichtet sie. "Ich wollte es ihm erst einfach so in den Kaffee schütten, aber dann fiel mir ein, dass
ja jede Substanz deutlich stärker wird, je mehr man sie verdünnt. Also habe ich das Arsen im Verhältnis
1:100.000.000 (D8) verschüttelt. Ich wollte ihn ja nicht mit unwirksamem Schulgift umbringen."

<h5>lang=de-de</h5>
<p lang="de-de">
Doch der hochpotente Gift-Trank, den Sarah W. ihrem Mann schließlich vorsetzt, bleibt ohne Wirkung – selbst nach
Wochen täglicher Verabreichung bleibt Robert kerngesund. Sarah W.: "Ein Grund, warum ich Robert umbringen will,
ist, dass er mich immer verspottet, weil ich an so esoterischen Kram glaube. Das Lachen wird ihm schon noch
vergehen. Irgendwann." "Also habe ich die Dosis logischerweise immer weiter reduziert", erklärt sie. "Aber so
sehr ich das Gift auch verdünnt habe, es wollte trotzdem einfach nicht klappen." Inzwischen möchte W. von Arsen
auf einen anderen Wirkstoff umzuschwenken. "Ich habe diese Woche zu meinem Entsetzen festgestellt, dass
verdünntes Arsen und andere Gifte homöopathisch genutzt werden, um Leute gesund zu machen. Habe ich Robert all
die Jahre versehentlich geholfen, statt ihn zu töten? Wenn verdünnte Gifte heilen, muss ich dann gesunde Stoffe
verdünnen? Jedenfalls werde ich ihm jetzt eine Potenzierung aus lebenswichtigen Multivitaminen, belebenden
Spurenelementen und gesunden Aminosäuren verabreichen. Wenn er dann nicht endlich tot umkippt, weiß ich auch
nicht mehr weiter."

Additional Information
I am wondering, why hyphen-data is not downloaded in the .config folder of electron. I would expect, that - as electron bundles a chromium - that it also supports hpyhenation.

@mlaurencin Can you update the labels? It also affects Windows 10 (not only Linux).

Pleased note that it fails on all newer versions (since the last label was added)
Can confirm that 27 and 28 are also affected by this.
I did a quick check to see if copying over the hyphens-data folder to the app directory would be picked up but this is unfortunately not the case.
Electron is currently in the December quiet month period, I'll investigate this further in January.
