Not correctly detecting chapter spacing

Hi, everyone. First off let me say, I just *love* your site. I've been lurking around for a while, and always find what I'm looking for. You all have helped me through two ereaders, with which I might've lost my sanity or given up on ebooks long ago, but for your site, and I appreciate it. Really. Y'all are awesome.

Ahem, I have never had the bravery to jump in here and say hi, however. So I am saying it now, and with a question. I downloaded Calibre in preparation for formatting a forthcoming book...I downloaded it about a week--maybe two--ago. And it's updated three or four times since then *sigh* (I have vers. 0.8.6 now, started with 0.8.57--I think.) But I notice that while everything else works just fine, and I'm finding it rather fun to work with, I notice my chapter breaks aren't being detected correctly.

(They look like, this-- on Sony PRS-300 and this on Kindle

This is better than before. Before, it was starting the next chapter a few spaces down from the end of a previous--no page break. But now there's this huge break, as you can see, which doesn't set right to my eye either. I'd like it to begin about 1/3 down the page, like my document does.

I've tried different things: I hit the P button and removed all the extraneous formatting. I have bolded the chapter headings, I didn't bold them, I have exploded the files and fixed the html, I have read every thread on the board I could find and tried the tips (such as the one suggested here:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=101467 )

I can't think of how else to get the spacing the way I want it.

I suppose I shouldn't worry about it, but it looks, wrong somehow. Can y'all point me to a solution please? to get it to replicate the chapter spacing direct from Word? I feel like there's some easier solution I'm overlooking... It's driving me nuts! *
