OK - MSO is extremely weird about how vertical alignment happens against the paragraph (aka "line"). I'm not actually sure we want to fix this, but at least I'll document it.

This is different for compat15, but still, umm, strange.

The attached PDF has 6 pages as seen by Word 2019:
-page 1: compat14, anchored to LINE, outside/bottom. (huh?)
-page 2: compat14, anchored to LINE, centered. (really - that is centered MS?)
-page 3: compat14, anchored to LINE, inside/top. (umm, looks centered to me...)
and the next three pages are repeated, but as compat15

Of course, LO doesn't look anything like any of those...

This was the most interesting example. See bug 160049 for so ideas about what is happening here. The "above paragraph space" in the paragraph properties is likely coming into play here.

Just chiming in to say that this behavior is present in

It's very strange.
