Disable hyphenation/hyphenated formatting

in progress

Anthony Martin

Since a recent update, lines of text now arbitrarily end in hyphenated wraparound words following hyphenation formatting, but without justified alignment. I would love to be able to disable hyphenation. There's little more distracting than reading a doc or comm-

ent and having a broken word for no reason.

Thank you for providing details on this request. Based on your feedback, we have decided to remove hyphenation.
We are internally testing this now and you can expect the change within the next 1-2 weeks. I'll be sure to update the status of this request again after the update has been made.
Thanks again!

I actually can't believe someone set hyphenation as the default.

I can't believe you added this incredibly stupid "feature", and have done nothing about fixing it, or offering a setting to turn it off in over 9 months.

For internal documents, I have less of an issue with this, but we share clickup documents with out clients on a regular basis. Personally I think having hyphenated text looks un-professional. Please can we remove this.

I too hate this "feature" - it costs me a lot of time waste because I have to "fix" it by adding spaces, and then this changes as I modify my writing, so, it's a constant distraction. this is killing my productivity. if the team project i was working on did not demand a clickup environment, I would not be - I would ask for a refund/ delete the program - this means I do not want to do any composition in click up, I will use anything else and copy what I need to into it.

I agree. We need this feature gone, or at least be able to turn it off. very distracting to read broken words.

I use Firefox and this feature of breaking words is making it unreadable. I don't know why this change was implemented but it's making it harder to use.

Workaround:

Install https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/custom-css-by-denis/cemphncflepgmgfhcdegkbkekifodacd or your CSS editor of choice
Add
*{hyphens: none !important;}
No more hyphens

I'm confused as to why this "feature" was even added in the first place--hyphenation is a solution for avoiding awkward spaces in full-width-justified content. ClickUp is left-justified ("ragged right") so there is no purpose to it. And it seems to be nearly as over-enthusiastic about it as I was in the first grade -- it's not quite to the point of hyphenating "the", but it's clo-

se.

Clickup is attempting to hyphenate

code blocks

now. I hope I don't have to explain how this can be exceptionally confusing? I typed the underscore; I did NOT type the hyphen.
