Why are words displaying with an extra space in Confluence?

For the past few weeks, our team has noticed that words, when they appear across a line break, display with one letter widowed/orphaned on the previous or subsequent line. In Edit mode, the word appears as intact. 

This issue sometimes disappears by itself, or after a user action (e.g., refreshing page, adjusting the zoom of their browser). Sometimes it reoccurs. How do we resolve this issue?

Are you seeing this same behavior on a different browsers? 

Best,
