Description Eyal Rozenberg 2021-11-12 16:51:26 UTC 
Consider the attached document. It has two paragraphs, each with an Arabic word  (سقاية) followed by a manual line break, to ensure the single word is justified all the way to the end of the line; but the second paragraph has the English word "hi" first. So:

سقاية
hi سقاية

You'll notice the Arabic word is justified using tatweel.... except that on the second line, instead of a "brush-stroke" for the tatweel, we get white space.

I've repeated this "test" with a multi-word line:

أنا أحب التطويل
hi أنا أحب التطويل

so as to clarify it's  not an issue having to do with a single word being on the line.

PS - The tatweel should be distributed much more uniformly IMHO but that's another issue.

I can see the difference in actual master, but can't assess, if this bug is resolved now. Eyal, please have a look at it.
