Incorrect wrapping of text at end of page

[gjritter]

I am working on a project that is using Jasper Reports 2.0.4 to produce official documents with stringent presentation requirements. We've run into a problem with the wrapping of text in a textfield that is set to stretch with overflow if the amount of text in the textfield causes the band to grow onto multiple pages. If the textfield uses justified textAlignment, the last line of text on the page is sometimes left justified instead of fully justified. If the textfield uses left textAlignment, the last line of text on the page sometimes ends well before it needs to.

I have read numerous forum posts, the JasperReports and iReport books, the FAQ, etc. I've ensured that the fontName and pdfFontName are pointing at the same truetype font (arial). I've tried toggling the net.sf.jasperreports.export.pdf.force.linebreak.policy property. I've verified that the problem occurs whether I'm exporting to PDF or using the JasperReports Viewer. I've also tried upgrading to Jasper Reports 2.0.5.

I've attached a sample .jrxml file and the PDF output. Note that at the end of page 3, a paragraph of text spans onto the next page, and rather than fully justifying the text, the last line is left justified. Some other pages in the sample have the problem, and other pages do not.

How can I resolve this problem?

Does anyone have any advice on this issue? Please let me know if I need to provide more information to help resolve this issue. I'm at a loss to explain the behaviour that I'm seeing.

I've created a bug report in tracker for this issue.

The previous link into tracker is no longer working. Here is a new link to the bug report in tracker.

If someone is willing to point me into a starting point in the code that I can drill into to try and figure out how to resolve this issue, please do - I'm more than willing to attempt to fix it on my own, but my unfamiliarity with the internals of Jasper Reports leave me a steep learning curve to climb.

Thanks,
