Forced return is now justified ?

I'm testing the new release and came across a strange behavior that was not present before with the forced return in a justified paragraph. With the previous version, the line ending with a forced return character (Shift+Enter or Shift+Return) was NOT justified. Now it is. I didn't find any option to specify a "left justified" or a "right justified", like in other programs (indesign and other).

 

Here screenshot with 2017, 2020 and 2022 Fm

 

The documentation from 2019FM even said :
Note: If you use Shift+Enter or Shift+Return to insert a forced return within a fully justified paragraph, the line that ends with the forced return is not justified.

This line disappears in 2020 and 2022 docs.

 

Did i miss a new option somewhere ?

    Kindly make following changes to get the old behavior.
    The justification on line containing Forced return can be removed by setting 'DoJustifyOnEOL=Off ' in [Preferences] section of maker.ini ("%appdata%\Adobe\FrameMaker\16\maker.ini"). Its default value is On.

    You may find a complete list of all known settings on my website. Unfortunately the official fm-ini-reference.pdf does not contain some setting which were communicated via forum etc. by Adobe. I try to cellect everything.

    There is a new option in the paragraph designer in the Basic tab: Last Line Right.

    I had not tested it yet. Possibly this is the cause of your issue.

    In the online help in Getting Started there is a section What's New. There this option is mentioned.

    I have seen that, and that option is for something else.
