So if i'm understanding this correctly, there is an internal problem with LO
with calculating line heights that aren't single, but then how does it cope
with this problem when the user sets this, as most users do, or a template sets
this, or if a document opens and it is set?

Can you provide a document showing this breakage.

Tell a document author or a web designer that there is no valid reason to use
line spacing other than single and they will laugh their heads off. Even the
APA standard requires double line spacing for its documents. If there is no
valid reason, then why do we even have the option to do it?

Wasnt the problems with font rendering and line heights supposed to be solved
with moving to harfbuzz and the cross-platform consistent line spacing.
So in a nutshell what i'm getting is that using a line spacing other than
single for Default is problematic internally for LO and that is the reason not
to do it and not that using a non-single line spacing is a bad design decision.
