- No, I'm not telling you not to believe your eyes! Obviously, it IS happening
- to you. But you must be doing something that is CAUSING TeX/LaTeX to make
- this unfortunate decision. There are plenty of ways to do that, deliberately
- or otherwise.

- Why not post an example of text in which this happens? That's the only way
- you'll get a useful answer.
