           Summary: FORMATTING: Smaller line heights crop letters in table
                    text when there's enough space for them
          Severity: normal

I made a sample document to demonstrate the problem and am attaching it. It
shows how text in a table with an 80% line height is cropped while text outside
of a table set to a 60% line height is not cropped and is readable.

Problem description: 

If you have text in a table set to 85% proportional line height or smaller, the
text gets cropped (the descenders of letters such as j, q, p, y, g basically
get chopped off) and becomes difficult-to-read, even though there is plenty of
whitespace for the text.

This problem does not affect text that isn't in a table. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a table.
2. Type some text in a cell.
3. Set the 'Table Contents' style to have 80% proportional line height (Format
> Styles and Formatting, right click Table Contents and select 'modify', set
Proportional of 80% in Idents & Spacing tab.) 
4. Type a bunch of text that includes the lowercase letters g, j, p, q, y, etc.

Current behavior:

Letter descenders get cropped.

Expected behavior:

Letters overlap on top of one another. This is what happens if you make the
line height very short on text that isn't in a table. This is better because it
becomes more clear that the line-height needs to be adjusted. When the letters
are cropped, it's not clear what the problem is.
