FrameMaker 8 justification & auto letter spacing broken?

[Mike Wickham]

I've installed the trial version of FrameMaker 8 and am having what I
consider to be a major display problem. My FM doc no longer looks the same
on screen as in PDF. There is a change in behavior in the interaction 
between justification and automatic letter spacing settings. The two 
settings have become mutually exclusive, where they used to work 
concurrently. Before I file a bug report, or try a reinstallation, is anyone 
else seeing this, or am  I the only one?

In all instances, I have set the printer from within FrameMaker to Adobe PDF
before opening the documents, and justification is turned on for the
paragraph format. Changing the DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics= setting does not
help.  Here are the results of test settings:

============A================
DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics=Off
Automatic Letter Spacing is checked
1. Some justified lines don't reach the right-hand column edge.
2. Automatic letter spacing is applied.
COMMENT:  It turns out that the lines in the paragraph to
which FrameMaker has applied auto letter spacing are the same
lines that do not reach the right-hand column edge!


============B================
DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics=Off
Automatic Letter Spacing is unchecked
1. Justified lines all reach right-hand column edge.
2. No automatic letter spacing is applied.


============C================
DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics=On
Automatic Letter Spacing is checked
**These are the settings I normally use.**
1. Few justified lines reach right-hand column edge.
2. Automatic letter spacing is applied.


============D================
DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics=On
Automatic Letter Spacing is unchecked
1. Justified lines all reach right-hand column edge.
2. No automatic letter spacing is applied.

I miss having my document look the same in FM as it does in PDF!
