enumerate putting text between [ ] out of margins

[melkyades]

The enumerate environment with [] items is generating output that [imho] looks nicer than description, but doesn't pass validations when uploading the paper for publishing, because the elements are out of the margin. See the attached screenshot

I had to change

\begin{enumerate}
    \item [GCT -] Garbage Collector Tuning for a particular use case.
    \item [JITC -] Changing a JIT compiler to avoid recompiling
    methods too frequently.
    \item [CompO -] Optimizing the application with vector instructions added to the compiler.
\end{enumerate}

to

\begin{description}
    \item [GCT] - Garbage Collector Tuning for a particular use case.
    \item [JITC] - Changing a JIT compiler to avoid recompiling
    methods too frequently.
    \item [CompO] - Optimizing the application with vector instructions added to the compiler.
\end{description}

Please use neither, omit the -

    \item[CompO] Optimizing the application with vector instructions added to the compiler.
\end{description}

It also seems you changed the appearence of descriptions. Please revert that.

The screenshot was for using enumerate. Description works ok (with bold text, aligned from left margin).

I guess the problem was I mixed enumerate with items that had [], which is not the standard way of using enumerations in latex. I'm just closing the issue.
