TLF: problem with \n and TextAlign Justify

Hi all,

I have some troubles when I try to Justify a paragraph that has a "\n". 

I will put a example:
I put the paragraphElement.textAlign = "Justify";
Text => "This is the line 1 \n and this is the line 2."

*What I expect:*
Line Length: ___________________________
Line 1:        This is the line 1
Line 2:        and this is the line 2.

*What I get:*
Line Length: ___________________________
Line 1:        This       is       the       line     1
Line 2:        and this is the line 2.

I dont understand why the TLF justify the line that has a "\n". Can I
disable this?

Thank you very much.

That does not make a new paragraph, but it can work if the tab settings are such so it left justifies the text.

Thank you Harbs, 

I tested putting a \t\n and then Justifys as expected. 

Thank you very much for you help.

“\n" is interpreted as a line break (soft return) in the same paragraph, not a new paragraph.

You need a new ParagraphElement to get the behavior you want.
