italic at end of line causes next line to start with a space

I have been having this problem for a very long time and have not been able to resolve it.

When an italicized word is at the end of a line and there is a space after it sometimes the next line will start with a space. This happens when the text is justified. This happens regardless of whether you use <span class"... or <i>. Sometime the justification sees the space correctly and sometime it treats it like a separate word.

I am using a 2nd gen nook Simple Touch. If I convert the justification to the left it is ok. I use Sigil to make changes/corrections to my ebooks. I use the convert feature of Calibre to justify the lines. This makes it easier for me to read. I read by shape as well as spelling and when the format/spacing is different it breaks my reading flow.

This is not a major thing, but has been bugging me for years and I have not found a way to fix this.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
