My main point is to take away confusion. Displaying the icons differently
would help if we decide not to take away the forced justify option. But for
one user that is happy with it there are dozens that are confused. There is
a glitch there. It would be appreciated by many if we'd take the time to
make this glitch disappear. I don't ask for much work. If it disappears for
a moment, there would still be ways to achieve forced justification with
the help of the actual justify settings, so the workaround exists.
