The only thing I've checked is "insert blank line between paragraphs", and I guess I am having a hard time understanding why that setting should also remove spacing. But if that's the way it is, that's the way it is. I asked because I thought there was a good chance I was missing some obvious setting, but I guess not.

Like I said, it's not a huge deal to insert some top padding to the scene break class in every book. Thank you for your answers, everybody!
