double words in a post that can't be edited

I've noticed some posts have random words that will repeat, but just thought it was the poster not proof-reading their post until it happened to me.

My post has the word "works" twice, but when I go into to edit, it isn't there. I tried re-typing the entire post, and the double word is STILL there.

this is the thread, post #9

I've also noticed this for the past couple of months. Sometimes in my posts I see the same word duplicated at the end of one sentence and and beginning of the next, but it doesn't appear when I do an edit.

I see this in other posts as well.

When I view the post in question, neither "work" nor any other word is duplicated. I think this may be a display error related to text-wrapping, since "work" appears at the end of a line.

Here's a screenshot of how your post appears to me:

Thanks, TOB! Seriously, I can't recall seeing double, but then I might have just thought It was my addled mind playing tricks on me. It's comforting to know that computers aren't perfect.
