After reading about the differences between \pagebreak and \newpage I have noticed that the \pagebreak doesn't work as it is supposed to. Why is that? Am I missing something? Is there something I should add to the preamble?

This happens with both \pagebreak{} and with \pagebreak[4]

Code:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,english]{article}

\usepackage{setspace}
\onehalfspacing

You must enable \flushbottom. The default in article is \raggedbottom.

    @Jon Although the mystery is solved (+1) instead of manual \pagebreaks maybe you want really a shrinkable and stretchable \parskip? The parskip package could be even a better option in more complex documents.
