Description:
I wanted to change just the last line of a centred paragraph in italics to a spacing of 1.15 but the whole paragraph became spaced at 1.15.  Changing the upper lines back to single spacing then changed the last line back to single.  So, my selection of lines to be re-formatted  wasn't used: I couldn't reformat a block of lines, only a complete paragraph.

Cheers,

Jon

This is not a bug. Line spacing is a paragraph's property, and as such may only be applied to paragraph as a whole, not to any part of it.

You might want to adjust spacing below paragraph - if your intended goal was to separate the paragraph from the next. Use Format-Paragraph (Idents and Spacing tab) for that.

Closing NOTABUG.
