Wonder what "auto" could mean. Some (AI based calculated) 80% word + 20% 
character or either word/character depending on... no idea.

Kohei explained the need for text that flows vertically - should be the same 
option then (simply "Justify"). We should be sparingly with attributes: the more 
options a (beginner) user has the more clumsy an application feels.

I resolved the ticket as WF as vertical spacing can be done via tables. The 
request misses a good use case like "I want a line spacing that expands a 
paragraph onto the whole page". The actual problem seems to me that text has a 
hard horizontal limit but the vertical restriction is only virtually.

Reminds me on Laszlo's work around smart justification, see tdf#159923.
