Comment (by GaryJ):

 I get the need for consistency, but this is behaviour I've not seen
 before. Other browsers don't seem to exhibit it.

 Looking into it further, it seems to be inheriting it from the `.widget{}`
 ruleset. Changing the field type from `search` to `text` has no effect,
 and I can't reproduce in comment form fields. Disabling in `.widget{}`
 stops it though, so I'd rather see the application of hyphen styles being
 a bit more selective, to paragraphs, headings, list items and other
 textual elements, rather than to a block container.

 According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/hyphens, the
 `hyphens` property (CSS3 Working Draft) is supposed to be inherited, but
 that just suggests that blindly adding it to a container element may cause
 further problems that have not yet manifested.

 In short, IMHO it would be better to fix the cause, and not the symptom.
