Dear Rolf,

thank you so much for sharing your experience from "long time ago". You
have solved our problem!!!

I made our baseline grid visible and noticed that we got some "safety
margin" from the last baseline to our text-frame-lower-border. But
obviously not enough:

Just pulling the bottom of our text-frame 1mm lower made the last line
of text "jump to proper justification".

I have just tested this fix for several text-frames - and reliably the
last line jumps and justification is done properly.

This even happens on those pages where the drawing is underneath the
copy (using the Text Flow Around Frame / Use Contour Line option): When
I just slightly move the image-frame to give more space, the last
visible line of text jumps and justification is fine.



I had often noticed that entire lines of text do not show, if there is
not enough space; but I had never had any document where justification
did stall for lack of breathing space. Maybe in this document I had paid
too much attention to the First Line Offset and never looked enough at
the bottom of our text-frames. Sorry - still learning this trade.

I had searched all over the place for the problem but never would have
guessed that a line which visibly renders 90% of the width, could have
trouble in a vertical sense.


Again, I am relieved that Scribus is stable and that I can keep working
on our book. Thank you Rolf and thank you list - without your help we
could not do this project.

greetings, and "may the render always happen for you",

Martin
