Public bug reported:

Using proportional line spacing with less than 100 % makes the first
line of each paragraph and each page considerably lower than all the
other lines.

This problem is an issue particularly with fonts designed for Arabic,
where the default line spacing is very big so as to allow for space for
optional vowel marks below and above the line. If these marks are not
used, the space between the lines is often too big. If I change line
spacing to proportional 80 %, most of the lines look fine but the first
line of each paragraph and of each page (even without a paragraph break)
gets crammed into the second line. As a user, I would rather expect the
first line to have the same visual height as all the other lines. See
the attached document and screenshots using Noto Naskh Arabic and 80 %
line spacing.
