Comment:

 I'll re-close this ticket for a few reasons:

 1. If you want full justification, setting the style in Additional CSS is
 a better method so that it's consistent.
 2. A plugin can [https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/justify/ restore the
 justify button] to the Classic editor toolbar if you want the style only
 on certain individual elements.
 3. Editing the HTML to `<p style="text-align: justify;">` still works.
 4. The example post uses `<p align="justify">`, which is
 [https://dev.w3.org/html5/pf-summary/obsolete.html#non-conforming-features
 no longer valid HTML].
 5. Please reconsider using full justification because it can be more
 difficult to read than left-aligned text (in English), especially on
 narrower screens. (See ticket:39244#comment:1 for reasons why the toolbar
 button was purposely removed.)
