Oops, sorry. ;) I don't mean to reopen a discussion that's been closed
for two years, but I would really like to suggest that this issue be
discussed again. Using Galeon, I have not seen the same issue arise.
In fact, I have the following text displayed right now (in Galeon
1.2.0), with the window resized to be very narrow:
Winter had been bad
enough on the farms,
worse than even the
oldest folk
remembered, but it
must have been
On the other hand, the same text displayed in Netscape 4.78 does as you
described (not justifying short lines). I haven't checked the behavior
of IE.
I *really* don't want to be annoying about this, so if the case is
decided and the outcome non-negotiable, just say the word and I'll drop
it. But it really makes the text look odd when some lines are fully
justified and others are not. I would rather see huge spaces (as in the
example above), then have the text not be fully justified. Perhaps it
could be made an option?
Thanks for listening,
Jamis
