Summary	0014369: whitespace affects justification for centred text in undesirable ways
Description	The last line of a centred block of text in certain configurations appears to depend on the trailing whitespace in ways that are not easy to predict.
Steps To Reproduce	Using the Josefin Sans Bold font in all-caps, type a block of text in a sufficiently large size that the last line is almost as wide as the containing element, and the previous line is almost exactly the same width.
Additional Information	I'm attaching images with control characters visible to illustrate the problem more clearly.

Space Pootler 2016-11-15 21:12 reporter ~0042421	If you add two spaces, the original one overflows and the centering is fixed, but now you have an empty line you didn't want. .Canestrato-s-Diarmid-s-Bacchelli-s-ulcerated.png (41,561 bytes) .Canestrato-s-Diarmid-s-Bacchelli-s-ulcerated.png (41,561 bytes)
