My native language is German, so perhaps it’s genetic. These end-of-line gaps, by the way, are beyond just “random.” They’re ugly.

Maybe I’ll try HTML mode. If I recall correctly, I actually did write my very first blog entries in HTML mode, and I didn’t have that problem then. But I don’t remember exactly whether my switching to Visual conincided with the problem showing up for the first time. Anyway. Worth a shot.

Not sure how to fix the tinymce bug, assuming I have it. Perhaps a flu shot might help.

I also installed and activated that hyphenation plugin alchymyth suggested above. So far, no hyphenation is occurring. I’m sure there’s a trick to it.

Yes, I’m writing my texts in the WP editor. No pasting.

These non-breaking spaces are interesting, because I certainly didn’t put them there by inserting a   I just find that re-typing the text gets rid of the holes.

Interesting. Thank you. I’m lost.

Thanks for the responses. OK, here’s an typical example of what happens:

As the old saying goes, if you don’t change
course, you’ll end up exactly where you’re headed. No way mankind will survive yet another tripling or even a doubling of its population, but
that’s exactly where we’re headed.

Now look at the hole at the end of the first line. There’s easily room for a few more words, which somehow end up in the second line. This happens all the time, and I can’t figure out why.

Thanks. I looked at my CSS errors and I’ll fix them when I have a chance. Most of them are trivial.

The reason you didn’t see anything wrong was probably because you didn’t scroll all the way down to where these holes occurred. And yes, changing the text size can make them disappear, but that doesn’t explain their presence at other sizes.

The way to fix the holes, I found, is simply to delete the text and re-type it. Then the holes are gone. I’m just not sure why they show up in the first place.

Alright, I fixed my Submit button, so now it’s customized AND the the “Publish Story” prompt pops up when it should:

<input type=”submit” tabindex=”5″ value=”Submit Comment” class=”customsubmit” />

If anybody has an idea how to get rid of the stupid black border that IE adds to a button when hovered or the form has “focus,” I’d be grateful for any suggestions.

I’m still trying to figure out how to get the page to reload and take a person to the main blog page after they connect with Facebook from the WP login page.

Found it. The error page can be customized in install.css, located in the admin css folder.

Eureka, I found it. The sidebar Meta list is located in default-widgets.php after all. It’s just hard to find, as one can’t simply use the “Find” function, because, for instance, “Site Admin” and “Log in” aren’t referred to as such in the ul list.

As to customizing the error page, the relevant file is install.css located in the admin css folder.

Thanks for responding. I had checked sidebar.php. Although it does contain some Meta stuff, it appears to be unrelated to the Meta items displayed in my sidebar. I also checked widgets.php and default-widgets.php, but I can’t find it there either. I had found it once before, but for the life of me I can’t remember where it was.

Regarding the theme I’m using, I designed my own. The error pages, however, seem theme-unrelated to me. It’s always the same little white box at the top of the page on a light green background. Although I did figure out how to customize the content of the various error messages, the actual layout of the page must be located in a different file.

My URL is https://blog.cyberquill.com. If you go to any single blog post and hit the “Submit Comment” button without filling all the required fields, you’ll be taken to one of the very error pages I am talking about. All I want is to get rid of the border and the green background.

Thanks ??

PS: The link I posted above doesn’t seem to work. Sorry about that. Apparently the page only loads by visiting my blog and actually making an error that prompts an error message, even though the URL is identical. It’s all very mysterious. In any case, I think my question is clear even without looking at the page.

Issue resolved. Thanks apljdi for the recommendation to do a validation check. The problem was caused by a duplicate inline-style declaration I had playfully inserted into the cancel-comment-reply link in the comment-template.php file. Upon removal of said inline style, the unwanted cancel-comment-reply link above the main comment textarea disappeared.

Sorry. I don’t have a car, which is why I never take it to the shop ??

So here’s the URL. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, in all browsers except IE the words “CANCEL REPLY” are displayed above “Your Thoughts” over the main comment textarea. But only during the initial loading of the page. Strangely, upon hitting “Reply” followed by “CANCEL REPLY” in one of the nested comment boxes, the cancel-comment-reply link above the main comment textarea magically disappears:

I’ll be checking the validation link you provided. Thank you.
