Line Break Too Soon in Text and Is Undeletable
-
All but one of my automatic line breaks are in a good locations. The one that isn’t, is about halfway across the page. I cannot delete it. The HTML doesn’t show this problem; you can see it under the visual tab however and it shows up on the published page
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Supernovia,
It seems to be theme dependent, because I have changed themes and the issue is gone.
However, in the theme I am current trying out, there is a case in a post where an extra space shows up between words in the headers in the published version. I don’t see anything in the html.
Should I start another forum post? In case I don’t need to, I have included the details below.
First header “Personality and Morality” has an extra space that shows up between the words “and” and “Morality”, but only in the published version.
The problem shows up again with the next header, “Emotions and Desires”. It has an extra space that shows up between the words “and” and “Desires”.
Thanks!

Okay, let me know which theme you were using and which post; I’ll try them on one of my test sites to see if we can see what’s wrong.

We would normally have you start a new post to avoid annoying the original poster, but since you are the original poster and this is still kind of related, I think you’re okay.
This issue is fascinating; when I inspect the code, instead of this:
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Emotions and Desires</h3>I see this:
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Emotions and Desires</h3>It would seem a non-breaking space may be a bit wider in this font or on this theme. Suspecting that code, I replaced the HTML-coded non-breaking space for a regular one in Personality and Mortality, and surely enough, that fixed it. You can fix this too, by editing your posts, selecting the offending space, and just pressing space bar. Then update and the extra space should go away.
Are you using another editor to create those documents, then copying and pasting into our editor? My guess it that you are, and your other editor is adding the non-breaking-space in an effort to stop the title from wrapping into two lines or creating a situation where one word is on a line by itself.
If your editor was also adding special divs here and there, that could explain your mysterious line break that appeared in another theme, too.

Okay, my code for the non-breaking space didn’t show up here (it just appeared as a space) but suffice it to say, it’s just a special character that looks like a space, but prevents a line break.
If you replace the spaces in any wonky titles, that should fix them.

Hi Supernovia,
I went through about six themes in a week’s time trying to find one with all of the features I was looking for. I don’t recall the theme with the problem or what the offending blog post was. I should have put those things in my initial support post.
Regarding my posts, some come from Quora answers I have written. This must be the source of the problems.
Thank you so much for fixing my current problem.

No problem at all, @gatesofdawn67 . If you run into trouble with a pasted post again, let us know and we’ll take a look. Cheers!
