RTL Justified Arabic text with Mozilla 1.3
Specifying text-align: justify on a block containing only one line of text causes it to stretch horribly. See URL for an example. (Gecko 20020421)
I don't see any text with 'text-align: justify' on that page. It works fine for me on http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~dbaron/sat/na/ . Do you have a URL?
1) What do you call ".bodytext { text-align: justify }" in the stylesheet then?
2) Your page's blocks all wrap. This is only applicable to blocks which are
short enough not to wrap.

I see ".bodytext { }" in the stylesheet, which might explain why I don't see any
justified text.|

Testcase like this attached.... and it worksforme (linux trunk build 2002-05-03-21). Are you seeing the problem on that testcase? Because I'm not seeing any problems on the site you mention.....
Okay, it has something to do with <hr> tags. This breaks:
<body>
<div style="text-align: justify"><p>
<hr />
this is some stretched text
<hr />
</p></div>
</body>|

This happens because the page is in quirks mode (see http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/quirks/). In quirks mode, <hr> is an inline tag, for compatibility with IE/NS4. So it's just treated as part of the line. This leads to what you can see in attachment 82340 [details].... There are linebreaks before/after the <hr> tags and so the text between them, being justified, has to stretch the full width of the window. Just putting the between the <hr> tags in a <p> would solve the problem (then the <hr>s would not be in the same line as the rest of the text). Putting the page in standards mode would also help, since a standards mode <hr> is a block, not an inline... I'm not sure how we can keep <hr> an inline for compat but not have it produce this effect... To layout.

Summary: text-align: justify stretches lines horribly → [quirks] text-align: justify stretches lines between <hr> tags horribly
So somehow the forced break from "\A" in generated content isn't changing our record of the reason the line broke (I forget the term we use...).

This appears to work now, probably following the work on bug 38370. Marking as WFM following verification in recent nightly (2003081304). (Continuing sweep of old <hr> bugs...)
