Package: lout
Version: 3.25-1
Severity: normal

When setting

    @RefCiteLabels { @Label }

in the include file, so that citations can be long, and when
they have longish lables like

    @Label { ``Line composition rules'', 1995 }

then what happens is that, when the citations are included
in the text with @Cite{$..}, they are typeset together with
the preceding word as unbreakable horizontal boxes.  This
makes for some quite large units that can seriously disrupt
justification - for example, if one occurs near the end of
the first (printed) line of a paragraph, that first line can
appear stretched out Word-style, or (even worse) the
citation can disappear off the right-hand edge of the page!
(Sorry I didn't save the source that did that.)

Perhaps you can pass this upstream, but I think it would be
nice to at least have an option for citations to be treated
as normal breakable text, or at least something slightly
more clever than the current arrangement.
