Formatting issue #9

Hello Melba team,

I have some issues with the formatting of the v2 template with two columns. Some words appear in the other columns instead of going to the next line. For example "Among" in this paper:

To reproduce:

\begin{itemize} \item \textit{CT Lymph Node dataset}: The NIH CT Lymph Node dataset~\citep{roth2014new} comprises a total of 176 contrast-enhanced CT series from 176 patients. Among them, \end{itemize}

I cannot compile it right away, but from a distance, it looks like a box overflow (the alternative here for the LaTeX engine being having an even bigger underflow), that ends up in the margin between the two columns. Would replacing among with am-ong produce the desired split?

Overall, itemize for longer paragraphs might cause those issues to happen more often, as it "eats" 2/3 em of the column width. For your text, would using a \paragraph{CT Lymph Node dataset} or even \noindent\emph{CT Lymph Node dataset} make more sense?

I don't have the .bib so I retyped by hand, but here is the illustration of my previous response: latex
