That's what your second example looks like.

Is that what you want ?

How does that compare with what you are actually getting ? Where are the "extra spaces" appearing ?

I will try to explain

I copied and pasted the text and I got this "arrangement", with justified text with extra spaces to cover the length of the row

then I wrote the text by myself, same font and size, and it appears like that, where top row is stretched, while the second arrives to the "."

If a paragraph ends with a manual line break (represented by a bent arrow with nonprinting marks displayed), you will see extra spaces between words. It seems you noticed this yourself. The fix is to avoid ending a "paragraph" with line breaks.
