I have the following text:
The example shown in figure \ref{fg:package_normal} shows the scope of the class \textit{org.\-argouml.\-kernel.\-ProfileConfiguration} (\textit{Having}).
Unfortunately the name ProfileConfiguration is so long that it is longer than the textwidth. That's why I added those \- to indicate that it should be hyphenated earlier. But this does not work. So how can I correct it?
EDIT
Here is a complete example:
\documentclass[formal]{seal_thesis}
\begin{document}
The example shown in figure \ref{fg:package_normal} shows the scope of the class \textit{org.\-argouml.\-kernel.\-ProfileConfiguration} (\textit{Having}).

Best Answer
You need to either rephrase the sentence or locally increase the tolerance for the problematic paragraph. This will enable LaTeX to hyphenate at the hyphenation points you set and not make an overful line. However, it will not look optimal.
