Hello fellow Japanese learners,  
As per the screenshots given here, do you guys have any idea how it showed like this? I always have the problem _only_ with Japanese vocabulary which has a **furigana in the middle** ( **食べ物、乗り場、買い物** ) Thanks in advance and happy studying!

Try inserting a whitespace in front of 花:

- 生[い]けwhitespace花[ばな]
