Hi, Art: Is it possible that the character tag used in the bullet paragraph has a font-size attribute that varies sometimes, perhaps due to a rounding error? Similarly, have you looked at the line-space (leading) and font size of the paragraph format?
Oh, and one more thing: in a narrow column, perhaps the width of the reference frame is bumping into the column and pseudo-wrapping to the lower position. Have you tried using an anchored frame below, with a rule, instead of the reference frame, just to see if it's stable?
