Disable hyphenation/hyphenated formatting

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.

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

Suzanne Morikawa

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.

Adding another vote to turn of this hyphenating that makes content unreadable.

Stuart Smith

It is weird that this is the default. Hyphenated wrapping is horrible to read. I don't even need a feature to turn it off, I would prefer it to never be there.

Jeff Vatron

The hyphenation also does not work correctly with unfurled hyperlinks, causing them to break altogether in some cases. Bleargh. Please allow us to disable this "feature" we did not ask for. Thanks!

Brent Any updates on this?
Ivan Villa This is also a problem in Task View, for Task Descriptions and Task Titles.
This was such a random change. End-of-line hyphenation is hardly used anymore. It's quite an old formatting style, and hard to read.

Brent

Hi Guy Mannerings, thanks for reaching out about this request. We genuinely appreciate your continued interest and feedback, as it helps us better understand your needs. We're actively monitoring this input from our community and will keep you updated with any developments!

Guy Mannerings

Brent Thanks Brent. Is there any reason why this was changed in the first place? I never once saw anyone request it from any public channel (not so say they didn't elsewhere, of course). Seems a backwards step?

Brent

Guy Mannerings of course! The update was introduced as part of a broader effort to enhance text formatting across different devices and screen sizes. However, we understand that this change does not work for everyone, and we're listening closely to all input on this behavior. Appreciate you sharing feedback!

Guy Mannerings

Brent Ah, right. Understood. Thanks for that. Glad you're keeping an eye on it!

Could it possibly become a user preference setting?

Brent

Guy Mannerings of course! Making it a user preference setting is definitely something we're considering, as it would give you and other users more flexibility here. Thanks for the great suggestion!

Commenting here for visibility. Hey ClickUp team, please, please, please disable the automatic hyphenation. (Or at least give us the option to do so.)

Thanks!
