Assuming you use "TeX fonts" (i.e. "traditional" LaTeX with 8-bit fonts):
* Open Document>Settings>Fonts
* Set "Typewriter:" to "Default" (or just leave it, if it is already set).
* put the line

Thank you so much, this helped immensely!

This sounds good, but I don't understand the part "Set the GUI
selector for monospaced to [Default]"
How do I do that?
Thanks a lot, everyone!

Also, using a narrower typewriter font may help. My favourite is "txtt"
(which unfortunately needs to be configured "per hand": Set the GUI selector
for monospaced to [Default] and put the line
\renewcommand{\ttdefault}{txtt}
in the custom LaTeX preamble.

I have included a minimal file.
The typewriter font is often used for stuff that should not be
hyphenated or justified. It is therefore set up to not hyphenate, and
this causes your problems.
LaTeX is unable to break up the lines in the middle of words in
typewriter font. So the words stick into the margin and the
line breaks after them.
The fix for this, is to reconfigure the typewriter font so it
permits normal hyphenation and some justification. It can be done with
this addition to the preamble:
%Hyphenation in typewriter font
\usepackage{everysel}
\let\oldttdefault=\ttdefault
\renewcommand*\ttdefault{\oldttdefault}
\EverySelectfont{%
\fontdimen2\font=0.4em% interword space
\fontdimen3\font=0.2em% interword stretch
\fontdimen4\font=0.1em% interword shrink
\fontdimen7\font=0.1em% extra space
\hyphenchar\font=`\-% to allow hyphenation
}
Based on this webpage:
http://texblog.net/latex-archive/plaintex/full-justification-with-typewriter-font/
With this, your document looks much better. There is still one line
that doesn't break properly. The best solution is to rewrite it
slightly. Or you can tweak the interword space/stretch/shrink, at the
tisk of getting some uglier lines.
Your testfile with this modification is attached.

Weird linebreaks
My thesis contains a "material" part where I have, among other stuff, a list of used equipment with names and manufacturers. I would like to use typewriter font for product names and small caps for manufacturer names. Within the thesis text, this looks good, but when I format this list in this pattern, I get all sorts of weird line breaks and it looks very messy. (There are line breaks, but the lines have very strange lengths.) Can somebody help me to prevent/fix this? I have included a minimal file. Thank you!
