Sentences are `breaking`, making the text difficult to read

What I’m trying to do

I want the text to be readable.

The sentence:

The relative value of commodity A, i.e., its value expressed in commodity B, rises and falls directly as the value of A, the value of B being supposed constant. 

appears as following in my Obsidian.

Things I have tried

I search for text alignment, text wrap, and line break. I also played with the Readable line length and Strick line breaks settings but it didn’t help.

Thanks!

This is what it looks like in VSCode (the same file has been opened in VSCode), this is what I’m expecting to see.

Compared to Obsidian (v1.8.10):

Your text looks fine for me in the Sandbox vault:


Are these whitespace marks coming from a community plugin?

I’d try all the steps in the troubleshooting guide (which was linked in the template). It may be a community plugin or theme causing the issue.

Same problem here in edit mode. No plugins activated (only had “obsidian-local-images-plus” active). After formatting syntaxes (like ** for bold) it inserts a linebreak. If the cursor is at the end of the syntax (**<cursor>), then the following text snaps back up in the same line where the syntax is. Moving the cursor 1 character to the right, the following text flips back into a new line.

BTW: The same happens in “Sandbox Vault”.

I forgot to mention, in my case it’s inside a quote (>).

I found a reproduction:
It happens, when the last word in a line is wrapped mid-word!

Sample

Source:

>a *aa aaaaaaa aa aaa aaaaaaa aaaaa, aaa aa aaaaaa aaaaaaa aaaaaaaa aaa, aaa aa aaaa aa lastword, oaaa aa aaaa aa aaaaaa aaaaaa aaaaaa aaaaaa.**

Rendered:

a aa aaaaaaa aa aaa aaaaaaa aaaaa, aaa aa aaaaaa aaaaaaa aaaaaaaa aaa, aaa aa aaaa aa lastword, oaaa aa aaaa aa aaaaaa aaaaaa aaaaaa aaaaaa.*

:warning: Attention
There is no new-line after the first character “a” - this forum-editor has the same bug!

So your editor needs to wrap one of the last occurrences of lastword like “lastw
ord” - only then the bug triggers.

(Sorry for spamming, I cannot edit former posts)
