In one of my ebooks, I have the following snippet of XHTML:

‘Het eten natuurlijk,’ zei ze. ‘Wat dacht je dan?’
‘Dat was lekker,’ zei ik.
‘Is dat alles wat je ervan vond? Alleen maar lekker?’
‘Het was heel goed,’ zei ik. ‘Het was heerlijk.’

The quotes used for the dialogues are the UTF-8 representations of ‘ and ’ respectively. Using the entities instead of the literal characters does not make a difference.

On screen, depending on the display width, the viewer breaks the 3rd line between the question mark and the quote. See http://www.squirrel.nl/pub/xfer/ebook01.png. This is not desired. How can I avoid this?

The viewer is from Calibre 0.7.24 running on Windows XP SP2. I can also reproduce this with the viewer on Linux and with Sigil. I haven't been able to reproduce this with FireFox.
