<![CDATA[html text can not be justified on both(left and right) sides in qlabel, qtextbrowser and qtextedit]]>html text is aligned only to left or right, but not both in qlabel, qtextbrowser or qtextedit. Did anyone have the same problem before?
I know QWebengineView works with html text for justfied alignment.

#include <QApplication>
#include <QTextEdit>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    QApplication app(argc, argv);

    // Create a QTextEdit
    QTextEdit textEdit;
    textEdit.setAlignment( Qt::AlignJustify );

    // Set HTML content with justified text alignment
    QString htmlContent = "<html><body>"
                          "<p style='text-align:justify;'>This is a sample text with justified alignment.Additional paragraphs can be added as needed."
                          "Additional paragraphs can be added as needed.This is a sample text with justified alignment.</p>"
                          "</body></html>";
    textEdit.setHtml(htmlContent);

    // Remove the border using a style sheet
    textEdit.setStyleSheet("border: none;");

    // Show the QTextEdit
    textEdit.show();

    return app.exec();
}

Linux 22.04 and Qt 5.15.3

I can confirm it works in Qt 5.15.2.

I tried it and only one line is displayed. I will look into this later.

QWebEngineView justifies the html text well. I guess these widgets do not support enough html features. When I use QWebEngineView, it creates a spacing at its top and bottom and I can not reduce it.

What happens if you

widget->setAlignment(Qt::AlignJustify)

afterwards (after setting the text/html)?
Does it work at all? If so, then it must be something with the HTML
