This is an epub file. I am running 4.21.15015 on the Kobo. I cannot find a specific language set in the CSS file.

One strange thing I have noticed is if I open the epub on my computer on the Calibre ebook viewer and copy some text, paste it into Wordpad, then shrink down the Wordpad window size, I can never get a line of text there to END with a comma before it wraps to the next line.

For example I copy the following sentence...

You're no true Parisian, you do not know your city, if you haven't experienced its ghosts.

I can get it to wrap this way...

You're no true Parisian, you do not know your city, if [end]
you haven't experienced its ghosts.

Or shrink the window down further I can get this...

You're no true Parisian, you do not know your [end]
city, if you haven't experienced its ghosts.

But I cannot get it to end THIS way...

You're no true Parisian, you do not know your city, [end]
if you haven't experienced its ghosts.

Same in LibreOffice Writer. Neither of these will start a line with a comma as the kobo does, but it's like the word-comma-space-and-next word are all one unit.

This is the first time I've ever encountered this, I can live with it for this one book, but I'd like to know if someone knows what is going on, maybe I can fix it if I encounter it again.

Thanks!
