Bingo. This solved it for me.

Maybe padding should be added only where there is a border.

For example, if you add one horizontal line to the top edge of a table, the
horizontal and vertical padding is increased across the entire table. If it is
a table with many rows and columns, this makes the table much taller and wider.

This doesn't happen in MS Word 2010: if you add one very thick horizontal
border to a row, you notice a shift, but the table does not get significantly
taller nor wider.

In LibreOffice Writer, I first noticed this behavior when trying to add a
vertical line to a academic-style table. This table style has horizontal lines
on the top and on the bottom edges of the table, but no vertical lines. When I
added one single vertical line to that table, horizontal and vertical padding
was increased across the entire table, and the table got much taller than I
wanted it to be!
