One problem with double spaces is that they're hard to see, especially with a proportional font, and a spellcheck won't pick them up either. I also have a hard time understanding when would be the situation that one would *want* a double space divided in the middle. In the middle of a line, it would not be as distracting as on the front end, and an extra space at the end of a left-justified text line is invisible.
A final thought: fully-justified text should have a space at the end of a line or the beginning of the next, if it works analogously to the left-justified algorithm as it exists. Now I presume it doesn't, so you're saying that for fully-justified text, it is logical for Scribus not to display that space, yet it is also logical with left-justified text for Scribus to display a double space and split it in the middle at the end of a line. At the moment I don't anticipate sending work to a printer, but I can imagine someone gnashing their teeth after getting a large print job back and finding a space inadvertently at the beginning of a line somewhere. Not the end of the world, but you can't help but think it reflects on the quality of your work to have something like that happen. TPFKAG
