Row Spacing in Booklist Problem (OS X)

[Edit: Resolved]

I have a minor problem with row spacing in booklist that I'd finally like to solve.

In Prefs > Look and Feel, extra spacing to add between rows in the book list is set to 4 px. I don't change it.

When I install a new calibre update, the first time I open the new version the booklist row spacing is wider apart than after any successive restarts, in which the row spacing is tighter. Until the next time I install a newer version.

Also, I recently noticed that when I add or remove a field in Book Details, the row spacing instantly becomes wider, like after an update, until the next restart, after which row spacing is tighter again. I hadn't changed Book Details fields in quite awhile until recently.

I'm not sure which of the cases actually reflect the 4 px setting.

With update-first-open vs restart this has been happening as long as I can remember. A few years ago, I believe I may have dragged the rows further apart once. Not sure. At that time there was not yet a row spacing option in Look and Feel. What's New shows that option was added in 0.9.18 [08 Feb, 2013].

But the update/restart difference in row spacing began long before 0.9.18.

And dragging a row border to change the spacing doesn't work now. Which is good, except it doesn't let me drag rows to try to get row spacing set back where it should be. Changing the row spacing option in Look and Feel doesn't solve the relative row-size difference.

It is such a minor thing. Guess it's a minor bug. Or is there a way for me to fix this on my end?

Edit: Entered bug report in launchpad.
