+1 from a University in Australia. This really is making content undesirable to read right now.
Mark-Kashman- any further word from the teams looking after this?

        The corrected spacing between paragraphs is a fix we implemented to return to previous modern page spacing, fixing a bug we introduced while making a performance improvement in late 2020. At that time, we removed virtually all space between paragraphs, making reading quite difficult for many users.

         

        Our design team discovered this issue in late March, and we've been slowly rolling out the bug fix for the last few months. We recently moved to the final phase of the flight roll-out from 50% to 100% WW.

         

        Here's is a comparison picture of the current (and previous spacing on modern pages), and the brief time when we had extremely tight spacing introduced by the performance optimization.

         

        Example text from Vegan Ipsum - The Vegan Lorem Ipsum Text Generator

         

        If the fix somehow introduced some other spacing oddness, we're unaware of, please let us know.

         

        The intended fix adds back spacing between all paragraphs. fyi Bruno Aleixo
