[QUOTE=theonna;2537891Fix idiotic space management- make all margins user configurable, including preference for having or not the top and bottom status lines. Make smallest interline distance smaller, .8 at least, so users can configure their own preferences better./QUOTE]

Are you out of your gourd? Do you even know what setting the line height to .8 would do? See the attached image. 1.0 as the absolute minimum, 1.05 would be better.

Please try to remember that white space is our friend. There are good reasons as to why Adobe's product default to a line height of 1.2. Anything less than 1 only works if you want to use all capitals so no ascenders or descenders.

Regards,
David
