Many thanks. When I did a search, the related question wasn't shown. Assuming it is identical, should I do something?

comment Centering long sentence causes strange vertical spacing
I agree, but sometimes long unbreakables appear; which makes me wonder whether I should simply do \renewenvironment{center}{\par\bigskip\centering}{\par\bigskip} and then I don't need to worry about it. Unless there is something that can happen that I don't know about.

comment Centering long sentence causes strange vertical spacing
If I simply did \renewenvironment{center}{\par\bigskip\centering}{\par\bigskip} are there any catastrophic consequences? I mean, I have always used center as if it acted like this and am somewhat surprised that something I thought was obvious is in fact not the case.

Thank you for the response, I was indeed wondering about this lop-sided vertical space. Given that you say unfortunate definition of the center environment makes me wonder if there is ever any use for it.

@Martin I'm also interested to know why we get the extra vertical space just because of some horizontal text that's too long. (I just realised that I didn't add that in the original question)

You say: Don't use center (which is internally a list) do you mean in general? or just in such cases as above? Your solution looks less obvious than simply using a center environment, so it seems to me that something is strange with the center environment.

Right you are! All the same, both solutions leave no \vfill space at the end.

Actually, the first offered solution (\setlength{\itemsep}{\fill}) didn't work.
