You probably pressed the block-justification toolbar button.  The last
line on that button's icon is "block-justified" - that is, going from
the left margin to the right margin.

There is another toolbar button adjacent to the button
(block-justification) you selected.  You will see that the last line
in that button's icon is "left-justified" or flushed left - so the
last line in your paragraph will not get unnecessary spaces if it
contains only three words.

So there are two types of justifications - block justification, which
you selected, and the normal justification which keeps the last line
flushed left.

I was also confused about this justification stuff as I have been
using normal word-processors a lot and there is no block-justification
feature (like that of Scribus) in those software packages.

The question is:  When do we need block-justification?  What are the
scenarios?  Any comments?
