--- Comment #42 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
Sorry, not intending to be difficult. And, I agree that we do reasonable things
with the handling of justified lines of text, i.e. to start and end at the
margins with a character--I didn't mean to imply that handling needed to
change.

It is more just a question of what to do with the *excess* spaces when
justification is applied. Keeping them hanging around beyond the page/paragraph
margin, where the cursor can get lost, simply suggests an obvious action to
either truncate or wrap.

Otherwise when alignment is not justified, as DF or paragraph style, then it
would be a simple and consistent action for the spaces to wrap by default. 

But also, establish an option to globally truncate 3 or more spaces--and
selectively apply [M] [T] Autocorrect table action. In general multiple spaces
are never a helpful occurrence and should be pruned.

@Justin, what is your take on this?
