--- Comment #8 from Frank <foberle at enteract.com> ---
A user just posted a similar problem on the Document Foundation forum.

See: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Line-spacing-changed-td4200592.html

As part of my response to him I said (among other things): "You CAN, by the
way, sort of make the problem disappear by editing the bulleted list style and
specifying a smaller bullet or your default font. Go to Styles and Formatting
either from the Menu, the sidebar, or by pressing F11. Then choose Character
Styles, and then Bullets (this latter does NOT appear unless you are set to
"Show ALL styles" and even then it may show up as a series of 7 boxes instead
of the characters "Bullets."

Then, choose "Modify" and you'll see that Writer is not using your paragraph
font for the bullets. Here you can do one of two things: making sure that you
can see the actual document, change the font size and press "Apply" - if your
paragraph size is set to 12, for instance, set the bullet style to 10 and see
what happens. (Actually, first try setting it much larger and press Apply just
to prove to yourself that this is the cause of your particular problem.)  The
other option is to simply change the font to the one you are using as the
paragraph font and you'll see the problem disappear."

I had not noticed these two things when I first posted this bug, so hopefully
that will help someone ferret out its cause. The 7 boxes mentioned in the first
paragraph should be a big clue, and the suggestion to change bullets to larger
sizes while in the dialog boxes helps I think to "see" the issue more clearly.
