Hi!

As reported on Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Inkscape/comments/rkjktp/for_come_reason_my_line_spacing_is_inconsistent/

The linespacing after the 1st line "seems" OK (but actually too large),
but linespacing in subsequent lines are even larger.

I am running into the same issue with Debian Inkscape .deb package.

When I open the same file (with multiline text objects) with:

 * AppImage (Inkscape-3bf5ae0-x86_64.AppImage, i.e. 1.1.1)
 * Windows (same version, 1.1.1, 3bf5ae0d25, 2021-09-20)
 * Snap (1.1.1-26b7af14f2-2022-01-19)

the linespacing is actually correct and consistent across all lines.

So, I just come to the realization that an Inkscape file that seems to
look OK when open with Debian's Inkscape would actually look wrong
everywhere else.  I was lucky that a recent file that I sent for
CNC routing purposes, I had the text objects converted to paths first

Many thanks for looking into this!
