CSS hover text claims 'white-space' is shorthand for 'white-space-collapsing' and 'text-wrap'

See original GitHub issue

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

VS Code Version: 1.64.2
OS Version: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

Create some CSS with the white-space property
Hover over it

Hover text then shows:

Shorthand property for the ‘white-space-collapsing’ and ‘text-wrap’ properties.

I can’t find any information about these properties, except some old discussions that say they don’t exist.

Also, the source of this hover text is pretty opaque; I can’t find it on GitHub. If someone points me to a more appropriate repository, I’ll open the issue there.

Well, I see the confusion.

The change is so far only in vscode-custon-data and not yet in vscode-css-languageservice and vscode.
