<p>The hyphens are not disappearing from the Ukrainian
geographical names. The names are just always spit in two
lines at a hyphen for some towns. Exactly as for <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wotton-under-Edge">Wotton-under-Edge</a>
in the UK. Google map shows the name <i>Wotton-under-Edge</i>
always in one line on the map: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

, but the OSM map always shows this name split in two lines.<br>
</p>
<p>In France too some towns' names are always rendered in two
lines now. For example: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Jean-d%27Ang%C3%A9ly">Saint-Jean-d'Angély</a>
: <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://osm.org/go/equZGaGg">http://osm.org/go/equZGaGg</a>--
. Maybe it is an indented feature now, however at Google and
Bing maps such town names are displayed in on line, as it
should be. <br>

The changes this topic is about are not live on openstreetmap.org.
The original message has details, but the issue tracking the
proposed changes is <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/2349">https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/2349</a>,
and you can see images there that show what the change is.<br>
<br>
The OpenStreetMap Carto project uses GitHub for issue tracking, so
unless comments are made on the pull request they are likely to
lost and not be considered when deciding to accept proposed
changes.<br>

After this discussion it seems that it is not an issue. It is just a
designer's choice, - some towns' names (and other geographical
names) are split now in two lines at a hyphen at any zoom. And it is
not only in Ukraine, but in UK, France, and probably other places.<br>
