This is a problem we've alll been facing... in some cases it resolves after the first couple of lines or so. Here's a case where the whole message is affected:

    Today I tried a refreshingly new version, starting to type a new word before the last word in an unfinished line.

    I started out with:

    This thread shows previous

    And then I decided to add the word some before previous so the sentence would start

    This thread shows some previous

    However, halfway through some, the line break stroke again, now separating some into two lines, on either side of previous, as follows, copied before I corrected it:

    This thread shows soprevious

    me

    I know this adds nothing to the solution, but it was a strange experience.

    Well, you cannot be accused of posting once more the same old complaint everyone has been posting. Yours is a curious and funny variant I had never seen, or seen reported. Although I just might have experienced it myself when trying to hurriedly help someone, because then I correct all such happenings on the go without paying any attention to them...

    Claudio,

    That is very interesting. IIRC, you have several browsers. Is this endemic to just one?

    Good luck,

    Bill or Snob,

    I don't know about Claudio, but as for me the wierd line breaks, happen in:

    SeaMonkey 2.0.2

    FireFox 3.6

    Safari 4.0.3

    iCab

    Camino

    OminWeb

    Opera

    I'd try Chrome, But it doesn't work on PowerPC. I need Leopard at least.  Takes funds to get a New Computer.

    Chrome (what I'm on now) seems to be the only browser immune from the idiocy of the Jiveware "JavaScript Engineer written" (LOL!!!! ) rubbish code.

    Maybe it's all a Google conspiracy.

    To date, my mystery line-breaks have been a thing of the past, since I went to Google Chrome. Have not explored with IE since, so do not know if there were "fixes" on a global (across browsers) basis. So far, no other issues.

    Good luck,

    I am still getting

    random line breaks between and in the middle of w

    ords. I am using FF 3.5.7 with no scripts or other embellishments.


    Auto logging out is also now happening several times a day whereas previously I could stay in for 24 hours.


    Still, there are fewer and fewer questions to answer these days.

    John,

    The auto-log-outs seem to have disappeared with Chrome too, BUT I do have to log-in each day, or every time that I reboot. Still, I was getting kicked out about every 3-4 hours min., and sometimes with almost every other post.

    I also hear you about fewer questions to answer... it now seems that 90% of the questions in almost every product forum is about installation issues, or major program crashes. Once, the questions were more about technical, or aesthetic solutions, but not so much any more.

    At least the line-breaks seem gone, so there is some reason for me to celebrate, albeit a small one.

    Please don't report anybodies problems except your own. Reporting other

    people's problems will not help because you won't have enough

    information on how they access the forum to make a meaningful

    contribution to a solution. And when you start guessing you will most

    likely just add to the confusion. (In this case: take a good look at the

    source code of the message you linked and compare it with for instance

    the ones from Claudio.)

    If you are experiencing a problem, do a little search to check if it is

    new, and if it is post a message with all the details about it. Such as

    whether the message was posted through email or through the web

    interface, which browser was used, which extensions, through the RTE or

    the HTML editor, and whether any linebreaks were added manually.

    And don't report issues that are already listed and acknowledged.

    Well, at least you didn't

    get actual words broken. I think this is a nicer example:
