Kindle previewer layout

Hi there.

I have completed an ebook and have scanned through in 'Apple Books' and all looks perfect. However in the Kindle previewer throughout the book there are about 20 cases of some paragraphs being split and being forced to left align for some reason on the kindle.

You will see this from the sample 'chapter one' screen shot of kindle previewer and one of the Sigil code. It's strange because the same code elsewhere works fine.

The code for the main text is <span class="char-Normal-Local-42">

The code for the italics is <span class="char-Normal-Local-32">

Unless there is something I can do in the CSS style to override this bug and full justify which is what I want.

any help appreciated. once I can do one I'll do the others.

see below CSS code.

CSS

.char-Normal-Local-32 {
font-family:'Times New Roman Italic','TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT','Times New Roman','Times','serif';
font-size:0.734em;
font-weight:normal;
font-style:italic;
text-decoration:none;
-webkit-font-kerning:Normal;
font-kerning:Normal;
-webkit-font-variant-ligatures:no-common-ligatures;
font-variant-ligatures:no-common-ligatures;
-webkit-font-feature-settings:"rlig" 0, "liga" 0, "clig" 0, "calt" 0, "locl" 0, "ccmp" 0, "mark" 0, "mkmk" 0;
font-feature-settings:"rlig" 0, "liga" 0, "clig" 0, "calt" 0, "locl" 0, "ccmp" 0, "mark" 0, "mkmk" 0;
color:black;
}

.char-Normal-Local-42 {
font-family:'Times New Roman Regular','TimesNewRomanPSMT','Times New Roman','Times','serif';
font-size:0.734em;
font-weight:normal;
text-decoration:none;
-webkit-font-kerning:Normal;
font-kerning:Normal;
-webkit-font-variant-ligatures:no-common-ligatures;
font-variant-ligatures:no-common-ligatures;
-webkit-font-feature-settings:"rlig" 0, "liga" 0, "clig" 0, "calt" 0, "locl" 0, "ccmp" 0, "mark" 0, "mkmk" 0;
font-feature-settings:"rlig" 0, "liga" 0, "clig" 0, "calt" 0, "locl" 0, "ccmp" 0, "mark" 0, "mkmk" 0;
color:black;
}


Please explain in simple language as coding not my strength.

Regards,

David
