147707 - style sheet justification doesn't leave last line unjustified

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 62845

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Jez Rogers]

The url http://www.jezndi.org/imogen.shtml uses a CSS to justify text. The body
style is defined :

BODY {
	background-attachment: fixed;
	background-color: #FFFFFF;
	font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif,helvetica;
	text-align: justify;
}

And paragraphs using the <p> and </p> markers are justified correctly.

The same is not true of paragraphs which are not started with <p>, i.e. they are
started after a <hr>. 

The paragraph is justified, but the last line looks odd because it spreads three
words over the width of the whole page. The last line of a paragraph should not
be justified.


The html and style sheet validate as html 4.01 using http://validator.w3.org.

This problem does not appear using Internet Explorer 5.01
