Text justify doesn't work with middle and right anchor (and last line is also always justified) #8897
Description
What did you do?
Used multiline_text() with alignment set to 'justify' and anchor set to 'mm'
What did you expect to happen?
I expected the resulting text to respect the anchor, and to be justified: with space added between words so that both edges of each line are aligned with each other, and for the last line in the paragraph to be aligned left.
What actually happened?
First line was fine, but second line starts at the center, ends too far, and is crushed. Last line was justified instead of left aligned, and slightly to the right.
See image at the bottom of the issue for an example.
After testing anchors 'mm', 'lm', and 'rm', none behave as expected (left anchoring only has the last line being justified as an issue, which could be by design).
