 * Howdy evreybody,
 * I’m having a strange problem where all of my new pages are having a text overflow
   problem. The old pages seem to work fine and I’m thinking something might have
   happened during the 3.5.1 update from 3.5.
 * An example of a broken page:
    [http://rxc.be/healthcare-connect/](http://rxc.be/healthcare-connect/)
 * An example of a normal (old page):
    [http://rxc.be/new-website/](http://rxc.be/new-website/)
 * Does anybody have any suggestions?
 * Thanks!
    -B

 * I would go to your admin, go to that post and check the text view.
    Look for 
   any tags that might be in there. I see a div tag in the html source code. It 
   might be the cause of the issue.

 * for some odd reason the _‘new’ _post’s space characters are of the kind ` `
   i.e. don’t allow easy breaking;
 * example from the html:
 *     ```
       <p>Healthcare&nbsp;Connect&nbsp;provides&nbsp;healthcare&nbsp;organizations&nbsp;with&nbsp;the&nbsp;tools&nbsp;and&nbsp;expertise&nbsp;to&nbsp;improve&nbsp;outcomes,&nbsp;reduce&nbsp;cost,&nbsp;increase&nbsp;patient&nbsp;base,&nbsp;maximize&nbsp;reimbursement&nbsp;and&nbsp;improve&nbsp;communication&nbsp;between&nbsp;patient-care&nbsp;stakeholders.</p>
       ```
   
 * (this might not even show when you view the source, or when you use a browser
   inspection tool; it only showed in the Forefox web developer add-on)
 * possibly re-install wp3.5.1 manually –

 * I think I found the issue.
 * For some strange reason, if you look at the source code, you will see this:
 *     ```
       Healthcare Connect provides healthcare organizations with the tools and expertise to improve outcomes, reduce cost, increase patient base, maximize reimbursement and improve communication between patient-care stakeholders.
       ```
   
 * That first sentence is made of a one long word.
    I’m not sure what caused that….
 * You can try copying the content from the webpage, going into your editor and 
   pasting the content in HTML view, not visual.
 * you can also try deactivating all of your plugins and switching themes.
