Why is my Latex text changing justification by itself? - latex

Question

I'm new to Latex and am trying to make a book-style presentation. But I am quite confused by how Latex justifies text. I was told \begin and \end justified the text and it seemed to work until I add some \newline and then I got this :
We can clearly see the text is justified only on the lower text and not in the top.
Both are inside a \begin{raggedright} statement and did not used any other commands than \newline and \textit. The separation of the 2 text comes from a \scenechange commands that is defined as follow :
\newcommand{\scenechange}{
\par
\vspace{\baselineskip}
\par
\noindent}
%Creates a line break for a change of scene
As said, I am new to Latex and I have surely f-ed up something somewhere, but if someone has an explaination/solution, I'll take it ! Thanks anyway.
EDIT : As ask here is a code that reproduce the error I get :

Answer 1

The reason you get the second half of your text justified is that you don't have an empty line between the end of your text and \end{raggedright}:
quasi aliquam eligendi, placeat qui corporis!
\end{raggedright}
For latex, this means that you switch back to justified text before the paragraph is finished and thus the whole paragraph gets justified. And because you are messing with \newline instead of having proper empty lines to delimit each paragraph, this means the whole text back until the scene change gets justified.
However instead of inserting an empty line, you shouldn't use raggedright as an environment in the first place. It kind of works by accident, but in reality \raggedright is a switch and not an environment. If you want only a part of your document to be ragged right, you can use a group around it (just make sure that again, there is an empty line before the group ends)
(and have a look at your log file, many of the class options you use are deprecated and should be replaced by the currently supported methods. Also using the geometry package with a koma script class is not necessarily such a good idea...)
