I sideload all my books as kepub and put them through some Calibre processing, but none of my other books exhibit this behaviour. Has anybody here experienced it?
That's almost definitely the code in the book. It is common for the first paragraph to use a different style from the rest of the chapter. This allows the common noindent format for the first paragraph and indents for the rest. My guess would be that the linespacing is specified in different ways in the two styles used and one can be overridden but the other can't. To be certain, we would need to see the code. The first two paragraphs of a chapter plus the stylesheet. Or, a pointer to the version you have as the preview might show what we need to see.
