Hyphenation of bold font

Question

I am getting unexpected hyphenation behavior when using bold font. Below is the output using normal font.

Below is when using bold font. Note that font is not justified on the right side.

Source code for the above in Lyx:

Below is when using mixed normal and bold font. I don't what is the basis for hyphenation.

This is affecting my report. Below is a screenshot from my report.

There is also another issue I am facing with hyphenation. Text that is already hyphenated is not hyphenated again which makes a bit sense but breaks the paragraph alignment.

By the way, I am using Lyx. Please advise.

Welcome to TeX.SE. Your posting describes an issue. In order for readers to have a chance to diagnose the cause(s) of the issue, more information is required. Please augment your code snippets -- starting with \documentclass and ending with \end{document} -- to make them compilable. — Mico, Aug 11 '19 at 05:50
Incidentally, should it be permissible to hyphenate the word "VMware" (presumably after "VM")? — Mico, Aug 11 '19 at 05:52
Insert → Formating → Hyphenation point with the cursor after "VM". The Code Preview Pane (menu View) should show VM\-preview (the same approach for preserva\-tion) For the MWE asked for Mico, just remove as far as possible the irrelevant parts for the issue in the Lyx document (figures, title, etc.) and just copy the code showed in the Code Preview Pane. — Fran, Aug 11 '19 at 06:28
Regarding hyphenation of words that already contain a hyphen, see Why can words with hyphen char not be hyphenated? — barbara beeton, Aug 13 '19 at 01:23
I hope I don't rely on manual hyphenation since I frequently change the (bindingoffset). Although I tried manual hyphenation, it only works on normal text. It was no effect on bold font. I am looking for an automatic, or at least semi-automatic approach, to handle that. — Meshaal, Aug 14 '19 at 08:20
I apologize for not providing MWE for the last two cases. It takes time to provide them since they are part of a large report. I don't feel it is necessary to replicating MWE for those cases as I will rely on replicating the solution that we hopefully discover for the provided MWEs to the report. Provided MWEs are highly correlated to the report, but more focused on the problem in hand. — Meshaal, Aug 14 '19 at 08:27
