Text written on the page normally does not suffer from this problem; text in a drawing text object or in a drawing shape does. See the attached document for an example.

... so we can set the status of this bug report to NEW.

Already reproducible with LibreOffice 3.3.0 (tested on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Intel)), very probably inherited from OOo.

The only question is: is this a bug, or is this a feature, i.e. intended behaviour? ;-)

This remains the case today still, with 24.8.3 releases and 25.2 nightlies. Ity also applies to "Space after paragraph" and the last paragraph.

This bug, or mis-design, is also experienced by _so_ many users, that many believe it is simply "just the way things are" - although it certainly should not be.
