Updates
Have updated the code to do a quick fix for a bug. Now, if images are aligned left or right, they align properly and don't force the text to the next line. If you already customized the codes, add this to the end:
.entry-content img[align*="left"]{float: left !important; margin-right: 8px !important; }
.entry-content img[align*="right"]{float: right !important; margin-left: 8px !important; }
