Thank you both for your quick replies!

Hmmmm that sounds... really annoying.
The tweak you're commenting on is for the
Reduce top/bottom page spacer patch right? I'd like to try setting 'it' to 0, like you suggest in your comments. But as far as I understand it that patch is only for when the "Chapter progress" / "Book progress" reading settings options are off... or would it also make a difference when they are on?

I know what's going on in the middle and right photos.
In the middle, the is not enough space between the last line and the footer to add another line. So that space will not be the same as the header where the top line starts at the same place.

Thanks
I've just tried all sorts of different line heights to see how close to the footer the last line can get... but even the closest is still further away from the footer than the top line is from the header. See new pics, with 28 and 33 lines. The one with 33 lines has a few pixels of the next line showing, I assume that's a nice visualisation of the minimum space between the last line and the footer.

The one on the right is the old widows and orphans issue. There is patch or a configuration (in the .conf file0 option. But, some eBooks do specify widows and orphans of 2 and the only way to fix that is to edit the CSS as long as the eBook has no DRM.

Ah oh. I vaguely recall something about an old widows/orphans issue but never knew the details because I never came across it myself. I also thought I already had configuration in the Kobo eReader.conf file but I cannot find it now. Could you specify so I can put it (back) in?
The book in question is a real kepub synced to/from Kobo, so I don't think I can change the CSS.
