Sigil 0.7.2 does not use Qt Webengine it uses the very old QWebKit version and that is now full of security holes since it was never updated and eventually dropped in favour of QtWebEngine which is Chrome.

I am surprised that a br tag can not seem to have a line-height property but a span wrapping that tag can.

Did a web search ...

Ah this is a known thing ... inline tags line height are ignored. It is controlled by the parent block tag.

See this link for more info.

Lots of things changed since the old html4 epub2 days. You can of course use css to make your br tag a block tag so that line-heights will work like the old days. See the bottom of that link for another link to more info.
