Widows and Orphans

And even when you have it set to this, the space at the bottom depends on what is on the page. If it is all just text with the same class, and hence the same size and spacing, the space at the bottom will be consistent. And it will be room for less than one line.

But, on pages with other elements on it, such as a chapter heading or a scene break, then the amount of space at the bottom will be different. It should still be less than the space required for one line, but, the exact size will be different from the plain text pages.

Beyond those comments, we would need to see some examples. The book code and screenshots should help to tell what is happening.

Hello Davidfor!
What on earth are widows and orphans in Kobo-speak? Never heard of them.

That's no Kobo speak: Wikipedia says:

In typesetting, widows and orphans are lines at the beginning or end of a paragraph which are left dangling at the top or bottom of a page or column, separated from the rest of the paragraph. (The typographer's terms for the top and bottom of a page or column are head and foot.)
