Text.AlignJustify does not properly justify text

[Nathan Osman]

Consider the following QML scene:

    import QtQuick 2.0

    Rectangle {
        width: 200
        height: 200
        color: "white"

        Text {
            anchors.fill: parent
            anchors.margins: 10
            horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignJustify
            text: "aaaaaa aaaaaa aaa aaa" +
                  "aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa " +
                  "aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa"
            wrapMode: Text.WordWrap
        }
    }

Attempting to run the file in qmlscene results in the attached screenshot. Clearly the text is not justified (as one would expect) and is instead left-aligned.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Alberto Salvia Novella (es20490446e)]

It's a cosmetic or usability issue that doesn't limit the functionality of a non-core package.

Same result with Qt 5.3.0.

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

No change with Qt 5.3.2 either, but seems to be fixed with the upcoming Qt 5.4.0, see attachment. There's however no strict ETA at the moment on when Qt 5.4 would land in Ubuntu. More information about Qt testing at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/QtTesting.
