Hi Martin,

There are 2 different full justification modes. One does not justify the
last line, the other does. Tool tips say "Align Text Justified", the
other "Align Text Forced Justified". The second one can lead to some
pretty ugly layout.
I have to say that I am puzzled to figure out how a last line can be in
the middle of a paragraph. It seems that if it were, it wouldn't be a
last line.
