H&J violations not working properly on CC 2018

[luizbmc]

Hello,

Has anyone noted that the option to highlight H&J violations only works when the maximum spacing is violated? When the minimum spacing is violated nothing happens. Is this an issue or it always worked like that?

I did a small test where I only adjusted the Word Spacing in the Justification dialog box.

Notice how the text in pink, which is set with 100% word spacing is takes up more width then the text marked with the light yellow H&J violation colour in the screenshot below?

In other words:

It appears that H&J Violations appear not just when the maximum spacing is exceeded.  I'm not sure what algorithm is at work behind the scenes, but the H&J violations appear to be working as expected from what I can see.
