I do confirm this problem was introduced by 34d7602954d4483b3bc9db700e7df2c15348947a, which is the same as in bug 117881.
Closing as RESOLVED DUPLICATED

    It really looks like spacing between items on the list is calculated wrong. I selected the whole list, then went to "format -> paragraph" and set space below paragraph to 0.05 cm; that seems to fix the problem.

    I'm not sure but I think the spacing calculation should be dependent on the font used. Is there any metric on the font (Times New Roman, 12) that can point us to that 0.05cm? If so, I don't think this is very hard to fix.

Now an interesting finding: spacing between list items was already broken in LO 5.2!
