arcane superfluous hyphenation at the end of lines

  Hi Guys,

  This is my very first blog post, but I get strange behavior similar to the description here – http://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-word-breaks-in-posts-since-11-update.

  I get superfluous hyphenation on firefox (but not on chrome). I mean words that get hyphenated rather than starting on the next line. It is very arcane and odd to read. Again, the problem is only when viewing the page from firefox.

  I think there’s no option I can use to control it (not even on the upgrade plan).
  Are you aware of this problem? maybe it is only related to the theme I have chosen.

  Thanks in advance,
  Matan

  Yes, 2013 is designed to auto-hyphenate words (if it doesn’t on Chrome, that’s a problem with Chrome).
  If you had the Custom Design upgrade, you could add some CSS to stop this once for all. Without the upgrade, you can stop it by adding some code in the Text editor for each and every post. I can show you, if you wish, but I don’t think it’s worth the trouble: if you don’t like this, switch to a different theme.

  Thanks for the quick answer, justpi, just had to confirm it. While at it, can I create an improved theme with my custom CSS that avoids this, for others to use as well?

  You’re welcome.
  If you have the Custom Design upgrade, you add this:

  .entry-content {
      -moz-hyphens: manual;
      word-wrap: normal;
  }
