I am getting random blank line feeds in an essentially finished e-book I wrote in MS Word, converted to HTML with Calibre, and edited in Sigil. The e-book is clean and previously looked good on an iPad, which I do not currently have available. After revising some of the text today in Sigil, I loaded it into the latest Kindle Previewer for PC to generate a Mobi file. It looks fine in the latest Kindle for PC viewer and in the Kindle Previewer. I loaded the e-book as an ePub from Sigil into iTunes and then into iBooks on my iPhone 4.

On the iPhone, random blank lines appear within some of the paragraphs and those blank lines change location, depending on the font size selected in iBooks. This does not occur in the Kindle software on the PC. Since the blank lines appear to have no relation to anything other than font size on the iPhone, I'm looking at this as a bug in iBooks on the iPhone 4 with iOS 7.1, but it could be something generated by Sigil. Does anybody have any ideas on this or any suggestions where else to look for help?
Look at the code preceding the blank lines.
Trailing Blanks or a BR before the /p
Just a BR or space inside the P tags

Weird margin,padding or line-height settings

something else that only a close examination will show
