Long section names extend into margins of Table of Contents

I tried the solution (adding /- in the section name to help it know where to break), but it didn't work.

What does it mean? No change but in the margin, or an error message? It should be \- by the way, not /-. And in a word, what shall be broken at the margin, not just somewhere. This \- stands ...
