That looks promising but books that have not specified the line-height in the .css or have another value will be affected to.
When I set it to low and do a batch conversion,all books that have no line-height or have a smaller value will be changed to.
You can't put a minimal lineheight in it, ( there is no option ) so it is useless in batch conversion.
The linehight button next to it, only changes the values when they are not set in the .css so if you put a line-hight there all sections in the .css that not have the line-heigt value in it will be updated with the new line-height, however, the section that has a pre-defined line-height ( and that is the section you want to change) will not be affected by this setting.
There should have been an option: set minimal line-height at 1.2 em ( or what ever you want ) lower will not be changed, heigher will be put back to the value specified.
Or at the other field (search and replace) an option for include .css
But how to ask this to the maker of Calibre, I tried in the past...
Most ideal would be an e-book that says, hey reader, tell me your settings and I act accordingly.
Now most of the conversion in e-pub to e-pub is a little bit useless,because after it, I still have to edit earch book to change value's in the .css ...

Yes we wish
Overall I am happy with a global line height change, even if I have to do it one book at a time in the editor. Usually headings stay the same or stand out enough for me. I find it almost unbearable to read books that have line height of 2.0 or higher throughout (probably because I am spoiled by calibre).
It would be nice to have a checkbox or something in the search and replace that would let a person select to include/exclude the CSS file.
Probably a good programming reason it can't be done though.
