Dear list,

when I typeset multi line equations using mathalignment and grid the descenders 
of the last line of equation run into the first line of text after that 
equation.  The problem is particularly bad with the Lucida fonts (I think the 
large operators are relatively larger than for Latin Modern).

I could just increase the spacing after equation (commented out in the MWE 
below), but that would introduce an imbalance between space before and space 
after for all equations without descenders.  Furthermore the problem does not 
arise for single line equations with descenders.  Without grid there is also no 
problem.

How do I fix mathalignment to prevent this?

Cheers, Henri
