Description: The effect is somewhat inconsistent, but in general can be seen when text with a character border or area color formatting extends across multiple lines, whether by automatic line breaking, manual line breaks, and even paragraph breaks. I believe you can get the effect even when short segments of text cut across lines, but it is easiest to demonstrate with very long segments. I've provided an example with character borders. Testing now with v6.4.2.2, but it's been around for several major versions. Steps to Reproduce: 1. In paragraph formatting, set line spacing to "fixed" and choose a size noticeably larger than the font size 2. In character formatting, set character border or area. 3. Input text with this formatting that extends over multiple lines, via automatic line breaking, manual line breaks, or paragraph breaks Actual Results: Height of the border or colored area is inconsistent from line to line. Expected Results: Height of the border or colored area should be the same as the character height (?), or perhaps the full line height, but not randomly switch between the two. Reproducible: Sometimes User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: It's not clear to me what the correct behavior should be. It's not possible to configure line height and interline-spacing independently in LibreOffice, since each "line spacing" option works differently.

Behavior of character border is not yet specified. It is still not clear, what should be the "correct" behavior. CSS, means browsers, and Microsoft Office do it different.
Dear Kenneth Hanson, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.
