I was thinking maybe the linespace should default to the current fontsize plus a preset interline spacing. For example when I resize text from 10 to 24 points the text on succeeding lines overlaps. The spacing isn't automatically adjusted to something like 27 points: font size (24) + interline spacing (3 pts).
