Bug: Rendering problem in "Regarding Karl Barth: Essays toward a Reading of His Theology"

I was reading this book on Barth and found some strange characters inserted in the middle of words as below:

Could someone please check if they get something similar so I can understand whether this is a resource issue or some setting on my system?

Many thanks

Yes, I can confirm the same problem. Those characters look like they were "optional hyphens" in the source text which either should have been stripped out in the process of converting to Logos or should be handled properly by the Logos display engine. Optional hyphens are supposed to show up only when the word ends up needing to be hyphenated due to its position at the end of a line. They're supposed to be invisible otherwise. It's just a hint to let the rendering program know where to break the word. Word uses them too. Apparently Logos is not hiding them properly when they aren't in use as visible hyphens. I don't know if there are other resources that have them in the text or if this one is unique because of its origin. And I don't know whether Logos normally does handle optional hyphens.

If you can still edit this post, change the subject to add "Bug: " prefix; otherwise email logos4feedback@logos.com to alert them to this thread (Melissa usually gets those emails).
