That's really freaky. I looked a both cases in the formatter dump, and
aside from some differences in run breaking (which should be irrelevant)
they were identical. Even in the second case, the heights were all the
same (21) even though they didn't look that way. I think this is a
display problem, most likely.
BTW, I'm impressed by your new patch. Does it allow us to import Word
2000 documents?
