Test files created with 3.3 + 5.1 + 5.4 (each as png + ods)

Opened in 5.1.6.2, the row size is identical to what was defined in 5.4.2.1.
(Rows 1-11 have the same height in all 5.x versions.) LibO 3.3 acts differently
by doing an adjustment of the row height. (All rows are higher than in later
versions.) I assume this is an intended behavior--the rows should be fixed to
keep the layout as it is. But that is not what I had in mind when creating this
bug report. Adjusting the row size is done easily.
To clarify what was my intention with this bug report:
Multiline text looks compact, crowded together, not good-looking in current
versions at least since 5.3. The patch made it better but there is room for
enhancement. I know the above-noted attributes are subjective and I know the
opinion of other people that a spreadsheet shouldn't be used for text. But
people are using software as they want and what's possible and not as it was
intended or thought originally. If you forget that all and take only a look at
the screenshots with the 3 LibO columns (attached in this zip archive), which
version is looking best and easily readable?
Personally, older versions of LibO made a good job in presenting multiline
text. That's similar how the competitive software acts. Therefore I suggest to
further increase the inter-line spacing for the sake of interoperability and
readability and to have sexy spreadsheets. At least until there is a patch for
bug 108555.
I created a test file with the three LibO versions mentioned above and opened
it in the other two version. I compared all 3 files with all 3 LibO versions.
In all three test files, LibO 5.4.x made the worst job, subjectively spoken.
