Line Break vs Paragraph Break

[Eisbar]

Why does the inserted line break force an extreme block set? See attachment!

[Alfred]

Without the line break, the paragraph marker occurs immediately after “Bogom?” and so the paragraph terminates as expected. If you include a line break, the line ending with “Bogom?” is not the last line of the paragraph, so it’s correct for that line to be fully justified (like the preceding line).

[Eisbar]

I'm not sure if I understand that correctly...

 

What I want is a line rebook without forced block set - with the goal that the numbering is not continued.

You have set Paragraph Alignment > Justified All - change it to Justified Left if you don't want the last line to be spaced line this.

@Eisbar,

Use a Tab before the Line Break.

Before, no Tabs.

After, with Tabs.

That's exactly what I did! But still... see movies

[MikeTO]

My mistake, Justified Left only left aligns the last line of the paragraph which is the line after the line break you're creating. @Old Bruce gave the correct tip - enter a Tab before the Line Break.

Ok, that works.

But isn't that a work-around of a program error? Or is there a logic behind it why it is programmed this way?

Not in my opinion. How can doing what you have asked for be considered an error? To be fair "Justified All" is something I would use maybe once or twice a decade.

[Eisbar]

But I did not set "Justified All" but the last line should keep normal character spacing.

Your screen recording shows that the paragraph in question is set to Justified All. Note that when you select a range of text, the first part of which is justified left and the second part is justified right, the setting will show justified left because it can't show both values. This is what's happening at the start of the screen recording.

But with a line-break after it, rather than a paragraph break, your line ending "Bogom?" Is not  the last line of the paragraph. there is another line after it. It happens to be an empty line, but it is a line. 

You need to use the tab, or use a paragraph break if you want the line ending "Bogom?"  to be the last line of the paragraph, and thus not to be justified.

thx a lot to ervery body!!

The "correct" way to do what I think you want to do (blank vertical space between numbered paragraphs) is to use extra leading between paragraphs instead of inserting a new line or an empty paragraph.

thx a lot!!
