Do you mean the better paragraph breaking algorithm, using the whole paragraph
rather than line-by-line?
I saw some discussion (or maybe just one message) on the developer's list about
implementing the TeX line breaking algorithm, which does that. So it might be
useful to check if such a request has already been issued.
Another thing that might help, to avoid the letterspacing, is to disable Tools > Options

word space on lines with manual line breaks in justified paragraphs. Then a manual newline at
the end of such an ugly line does not justify the line.
But the best thing in my opinion (besides the TeX algorithm) would be if you
could just switch off letter spacing completely. I hate it and I haven't found
an option to disable it.
I thank you for that info. I hate the word spacing for a fully
justified "short" lines. Hopefully it works out for the original poster.
