Thank you Greg for this input. I know about the two justifications. It does not concern the problem with my document. I tried anyway: The forced justification would justify all the lines in my test-frame (even the ones which are the last of a paragraph; so indeed very ugly) BUT our broken last-lines of the text-frame are still not getting justified, even with the forced justification option. I had written that this will be our first full-length book. But I am using Scribus for several years now. We have done many booklets up to 16 pages. We have done nine magazines of 20 pages with two- and three-column-layouts. So I have worked with chained text-frames before (even if I am a looser at un-chaining as we found out last week). So I can tell normal justification from broken justification. Still I got self-doubts, so I grabbed several novels on paper and looked: Yep, each page gets fully justified including the very last line - unless it happens upon the end of a paragraph. That is what we want. I did another test: In my troubled book-document I opened story editor and ripped out all our text (with a bleeding heart). Then I inserted 99 paragraphs of Lorem Ipsum, keeping the styles unchanged: Guess what, the justification is not just broken for our book-text, it is now also broken with sample text. So probably not triggered by our alphabet. Rather by my style-settings or by my svn-version (scribus-1.5.3.svn-snapshot-170430-x64.exe). What would happen, if I wanted to go back a few days, to maybe the snapshot from April 10? Could I still open my document?
