I often edit books in Calibre to remove widows, orphans and space between paragraphs. With this one particular book I've noticed if a comma is set to end on a line, it gets shifted to the next line like this on my Kobo...

To get to the heart of a city [end of line]
‚ to learn its most subtle secrets [end of line]
‚ takes infinite tenderness‚ and [end of line]
patience sometimes to the point of despair. [end of line]

It doesn't happen with every comma, just when a line of text on the reader ends with a comma. This doesn't happen with periods or semicolons. The text is set to justified. I loaded the epub into Calibre and went to "Edit Book" to see if there was anything strange with the commas or formatting, but didn't see anything, no spaces before commas for example.

Anyone encountered this problem?

Thanks,
Andy H.
