Dear list, me again, sorry. Getting our first full-length book ready for the printers. Learning the ropes? Rather fighting with a heap of sneakily self-entangling ropes...
Our book has got 200+ pages. One text-frame on each page, linked with each other. Our main text is justified and aligned to baseline. Justification mostly works fine. But in all text-frames the last line does not justify on the right side, only on the left side (our text is left-to-right). In a few percent of text-frames the justification of the last line looks correct, but that is likely due to the fact that by chance the last word just fits the line. I know that the last line should not justify if it happens to coincide with the end of a paragraph. But in our book, most last-lines are in the middle of their respective paragraphs and still they refuse to justify. Seems the last lines go into some Zombie-mode. Other lines I can select (or place the cursor inside a line) and click the icons to play with the justification: left, centred, right ... they are responding. Not so my Zombie-lines: If I place the cursor or even if I select the entire line (highlight in blue), they will not even respond to manual alignment commands. I double-checked in a new document with fresh chained text-frames and English and Lorem Ipsum sample-text: That behaves normally, i.e. the last lines all justify right and left unless they are end-of-paragraph. So all is not broken. Even when I apply our book main style to this testing document, justification works fine. Our language (Anii) is a non European language, using an extended Latin alphabet. Scribus 1.5.3svn is handling it very nicely - except for this. The last line will render like a left-justified line. Even if I add manual Soft Hyphens in the first word of the following text-frame, it only brings over one syllable, but still does not justify all the way to the right. Has any other user ever observed anything similar? Any ideas where I could check or tweak to get proper book-style justification all the way to the last line?
