--- Comment #4 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> ---
Reproducible with 4.2.0.0.beta1 - 4.2.3.3 under Win7x64, 4.2.3.3 under Ubuntu
13.10 x64 -> NEW.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new empty text document.
2. Write a paragraph several lines long.
3. Add several other paragraphs one line long.
4. Go to Styles and Formatting, Paragraph Styles, modify current paragraph
style to have double line spacing and no spacing above or below the paragraph,
and uncheck "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" (Idents and
Spacing tab) -> OK.
5. See that all lines are spaced evenly.
6. Go to Styles and Formatting, Paragraph Styles, modify current paragraph
style to check "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" and add
some spacing above or below paragraph -> OK.

Expected result: the spacing between lines (of these same-style paragraphs)
should stay equal regardless of if they are inside one paragraph or between
same-style paragraphs, i.e. they should all be equal to Line Spacing setting.

Actual result: the spacing inside paragraph stays OK, while spacing between
adjacent same-style paragraphs become single. This is absolutely inappropriate,
because:
- the "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" checkbox is
grouped with "Above/Below paragraph spacing" settings, and expected to affect
only that behaviour;
- the help system further confirms this, saying "Makes any space specified
before or after this paragraph not be applied when the preceding and following
paragraphs are of the same paragraph style" (see
https://help.libreoffice.org/swriter/cui/ui/paraindentspacing/spinED_LEFTINDENT?Language=en-US&System=WIN&Version=4.2#Don.27t_add_space_between_paragraphs_of_the_same_style);
- this wrong behaviour makes this option absolutely unusable in scenarios where
non-single-line spacing is used. You just cannot make normal text body with
double spacing to look OK when this checkbox is checked!

This is not a minor issue, as it makes this newly introduced feature barely
usable. Thus restoring severity to NORMAL.
