I'm running into a persistent formatting problem. It is a quote within brackets, which seems to prevent the sentence from wrapping around in a normal way.

example:
quote
There are no magical saviors in the world outside of us, there is no place to get to, and the only journey is the removal of the blocks to "the awareness of love's presence" (ACIM:Introduction), which we ourselves have erected and have to dismantle on the way back home.
unquote

in this case it is the (ACIM:Introduction), which ends up pulling the -- presence" -- to the next line, even though there is plenty of space for the word on the previous line. It is happening throughout my document (book).

A quick look suggests it's the quote-space-bracket structure. Remove the quote or the bracket, and it seems to behave. The problem occurs for the " character as well as the "66"-type quote symbol and ' although the other punctuation marks I've tried seem immune. It occurs for ( [ and {. It's as if quote+spaces+bracket is treated as having a non-breaking space. Ironically, inserting an additional non-break space (ctl-space) allows a line break - this may be a possible workaround.

There's another related snag too - the sequence

   presence <normal-space> ]ACIM

breaks /after/ the ]
Is this expected?
