Hi again,
here’s the link of the Indesign page file where the bad spacing first occurs.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/lvbd8lbrcw03u7w/badspacing.indd?dl=0

I’ve tried exporting the file, which is very large, to idml. When I try to open it, Indesign thinks for ages, then freezes and the dialog asks to close the application. When I reopen Indesign, Sans-titre-1 is there but all text in the boxes has gone, and the little red + shows in the right bottom.

And guess what, Notes 1-25 now have too between notes the odious blank line which is driving me nuts.

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

I see only bad spacing shows in the last link. Here’s the good spacing sample:

UPDATE: I have compared Footnote general options and Footnote paragraph style with an older version (with all footnote spacing correct), and there are no differences in the values or choices.
