no it's all clean - & this is retail epub stuff, not dodgy scanned source material.
I actually had a couple of the books in this series as mobi from amazon & I get the same issues with those books after conversion to epub.
hence my original thread title, it's as if the renderer looks at the amount of computation needed to get the 1st line properly typeset & says " too hard , not doing it "
I am aware of other similar instances where a paragraph with an excessive amount of embedded spans & classes will overspill on the reader; you'll lose part of a line as it misjudges the right hand margin. I don't have an example to hand but I can recall having to tweak such things in other books. But in this instance it is an underspill, not an overspill.
