    hi BiswajitMajumdar,

     

    I can not reproduce this issue, can you attach a screenshot to show how it looks like?

    Hi Ken,

     

    I have attached the screenshot here and provided the demo content below.

    Try selecting "1. Introduction"  with mouse. An extra space gets selected on IE8.

    1. Introduction

    Formamides are derivatives of the smallest of the aliphatic carboxylic acids, formTableic acid, and are thus structurally and chemically rather straightforward substances. Two of the simplest members of the family—formamide itself [75-12-7], HCONH2, and N,N-dimethylformamide [68-12-2], HCON(CH3)2—have considerable industrial importance because of their chemical bifunctionality and high polarity. Formamide is especially valued for its chemical reactivity; N,N-dimethylformamide is used widely for its solvent properties.
