As I have said earlier, I am developing a custom Break Iterator for use
with Malayalam text. I have a couple of problems I need to sort out with
regard to text breaking. I have attached an archive of 2 .png files which
demonstrate the problems:

1) There is an unusual space at the end of justified text when the text
is broken by the break iterator (e.g., 3rd line in snapshot4.png. also,
same thing in most other lines in the screenshot). Is there any way to
get rid of the space and get the text to be against the right page border
?

2) Unusual amount of space between a Malayalam character and punctuation
marks in justified text (for e.g., see the comma in the middle of the 2nd
line from bottom in snapshot4.png). Can my break iterator help to reduce
this space, at least similiar to the spacing in the completely left
aligned case ?
1) + 2) Well, I can keep guessing what's going on here (as I already did
some weeks ago), or you can provide me with your break iterator code and
any other changes you made and I'll have a look. Since option 1 is
definitely a waste of time, I would suggest to choose option 2.
Option ? Actually, both are bugs. Could you tell why you believe option 1 is a waste of time ? Is it because option 1 cannot be done in the breakIterator but only in the formatting code ?

To clearify the meaning of "option" in this context:

Option 1 is [...] I can keep guessing what's going on here [...]

Option 2 is [...] you can provide me with your break iterator code and any other changes you made and I'll have a look [...]

Doing some tests, i removed my breakiterator code, but the same problems persist (as I said earlier, Malayalam has very long words and breaking on words will have very bad results). I have attached a screenshot of it with the email (snapshot5.png)

- If there is a bug in Writer that occurs without your code changes, please submit a bug for this, I will have a look.

- If there is a bug in Writer that only occurs in combination with your code changes, I offer you to have a look at how your break iterator works together with Writer's text formatting, because guessing is a waste of time.
