Immediately after posting my thread about the quote feature not working, I noticed something strange:
I don't think I've ever seen Iwaku split a word onto two different lines like that, at least not without adding a hyphen. (Actually, I'm not sure whether or not Iwaku normally hyphenates text at all -- but cutting a word up like that certainly doesn't seem normal.)
Yes, it's true that I can easily "fix" the problem by simply adjusting the width of my browser window so that each line of text is shorter and therefore the breaks land in different places, but that doesn't do much to address the underlying cause of this odd line-breaking. But adjusting my browser window did help me notice that this glitch seems to only be affecting text that functions as a link. As I made my window skinnier, all the line breaks that didn't land on linked text worked exactly as they should, moving around only complete words and not splitting any of them up. Line breaks that landed on a link adjusted the text character-by-character as the width of my window changed.
I looked in the bug reports thread that Eru pointed out to me in my thread about the quote feature and didn't see any mention of this glitch.
I also intentionally included a few long-ish bits of linked text in this post so that any non-mobile-users currently reading this can easily use this thread to test whether or not they're having the same issue without needing to hunt down some other post that has linked text in it. (Or maybe something similar happens on mobile, as well? I dunno. I don't browse Iwaku on mobile super-often.)
