Weird hyphenation bug

[gitcnd]

Sprint-read the following:-

It can be used to modify unpleasant memories (‘flashbacks’) or upsetting future imaginings (‘flashforwards’).

it goes whacky on that last word.

In general, strange non-words and hyphenated things probably need better handling (they take a higher cognitive load to figure out, but there's not enough time when reading at an otherwise comfortably rapid pace): like the below - it correctly presents "and/or" as one "word", but the split in "anxiety-provoking" creates a "parse backlog" as the brain tries to comprehend the meaning of the trailing hyphen, and so do the non-words "ImRs" and "UNSW"... maybe hyphenated things should be kept together, and displayed for double the time a single word would have been? Maybe non-words need to also be displayed longer, so we can work out what these non-familiar non-words things are supposed to mean?

In addition to ImRs, the other three techniques used were: engaging with anxiety-provoking images and/or narrative to reduce their impact. Source: UNSW Sydney

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but fyi that there is a setting (see the Advanced tab) to have the reading speed relate to how common the word is in the US English language.

[Chill-Try]

First change the Settings - Words Per Slide (chunk size) to '1' Then set the parameters in the figure below in Advance - More... (Don't refer to mine, set the value that suits you)

I am a new user, this software is really great, but the Chinese reading experience seems worse

Weird. I thought it might be related to the unicode thing, but the below plain-text still seems to trip it up?

It's ALSO converting the last " into " as well as crazy-hyphening it too?
