Could you tell what settings in the Text Body style are problematic?

Thanks Albert. I am not real expert (understatement) at using Styles in LO. I like the Text Body style because I don't have to mess with indenting paragraphs when I compose. Anyway, I just select Text Body (where Default was) and that's it. (I didn't know there were settings within the Text Body style.) One thing that is different is where the second arrow (in the attachment) points. When I hover the cursor over it it says:

Ctrl+Shift+F11

I've clicked on it and I don't think it does anything. All I know is that that icon never used to be there.

But like I was saying in an earlier post, when I 'selected all' and went back to the Default style (again in that box in the upper left corner) it straightened the funky spacing out.

So now I'm just figuring to keep it simple. Compose with the Text Body. Then when I'm done do the 'select all' and Default. I'm okay with that.

Then (I'm formatting the epub in Sigil now.) I'll see if there's any spacing issues in the .epub but I highly doubt it since the .odt got straightened out.
