Hi David,

thanks for looking into all this.

I can understand that the behaviour is correct from a programmers point of 
view...

David, usually you would not accept something like this. A programm for end 
users should not be confusing for them. And I am pretty sure that other word 
processors do not behave like this. 

(Had a quick looke at open office 1.0: They have the usual 1, 1.5, 2-fold 
linespacing, and "proportional"), but all of them behave like I would expect. 
The size of the inline picture is ignored for space below the line.

How about this: Instead of using the size of the largest character in a line, 
take the size of the styles default font. Linespacing of 1.5 would behave not 
much different from a fixed value. It would change only with the font size of 
the style.

It has vanished on my new system too.
