So these are still broken in modern word-processors? Or expected to be manually tweaked? Seems odd decades later.

You can’t manually tweak it. Actually, I spend a non trivial amount of time fixing under and over flows in LaTeX papers. In Word, it’s just “go ugly early.” The appeal is that a good looking doc is impossible, so don’t even bother.

Interesting but odd. Seems like this would be right in the wheelhouse of the expensive word processor.
