Accurate calculation of spectral line broadening is important for many hot, dense plasma applications. However, calculated line widths have significantly underestimated measured widths for Delta n = 0 lines of Li-like ions, which is known as the isolated-line problem. In this Letter, scrutinization of the line-width derivation reveals that the commonly used expression neglects a potentially important contribution from electron-capture. Line-width calculations including this process are performed with two independent codes, both of which removed the discrepancies at temperatures below 10 eV. The revised calculations also suggest the remaining discrepancy scales more strongly with electron temperature than the atomic number as was previously suggested.
