hyphenation

About this tag
On WindowsForum.com, the hyphenation tag covers user-reported issues related to hyphens in text selection and keyboard input. One thread describes a problem in Windows 7 where double-clicking a hyphenated word or number sequence, such as 11-1111111-11111, fails to select the entire string, unlike in Windows XP or 2003. Another thread recounts a faulty wired keyboard that spontaneously inserted hyphens while typing, which was resolved by replacing it with a Logitech MK 250 wireless keyboard. These discussions highlight specific hyphenation quirks in Windows environments, from software behavior to hardware malfunctions.
