Description: All releases or snapshots of LibreOffice 24 that I've tested, including (a) both 24.2 and 24.8 and (b) both official EXEs and copies of LibreOffice built from source, justify a wide range of paragraohs incorrectly. The problem doesn't occur with LibreOffice 7. I've tested this for months. It happens under both Linux and Windows. The problem is 100% reproducible; i.e., for documents that demonstrate the issue, it occurs every time. The problem doesn't occur with every font. However, it does occur with common fonts such as Liberation Serif. If I set a minimum character spacing manually, the problem seems to go away. I've tried to produce a patch to do that without causing other issues, but so far I've been unsuccessful. I don't see a way to attach a DOCX file to a Bugzilla report. So, I've uploaded a DOCX file that demonstrates the issue to the following link: https://laclin.com/test240726.docx Just open that file in LibreOffice 24.2 or 24.8 and you should observe the issue. If you'd like me to test a source patch, I can do that. I can build either 24.2 or 24.8. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the short DOCX file at https://laclin.com/test240726.docx 2. I'll try to attach the DOCX file here as well 3. Open the DOCX file in Libreoffice 24.2 or 24.8 4. You can use either Windows or Linux 5. The document is a single paragraph. Look at the last line. Actual Results: The last line of the paragraph extends past the paragraph width instead of wrapping to produce a justified paragraph. Expected Results: The paragraph should be justified. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: The following is copied manually because copy-paste isn't working for that window: LibreOffice Version: 24.2.3.2 (x86) / LibreOffice Community Build: 433d9c2 ... this part is too long to copy by hand Environment: CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045 The problem occurs with *every* release of LibreOffice [Writer] 24 that I've tried, not just the release identified above. It occurs both with official EXEs and with copies built from source. It also occurs both with Windows and with Linux.

Thanks for the report! (In reply to OldCoder from comment #0) > The following is copied manually because copy-paste isn't working for that > window: Note that there is a dedicated button for copying in the About dialog. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 162109 ***
Not a duplicate (missing portion length, not only missing justification of the last line).
